Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On July 23, 2026, Aprea Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that, while the Company has not yet regained compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”), Nasdaq has determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until January 19, 2027 (the “Second Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
As previously reported, on January 23, 2026, the Company received a deficiency notice from Nasdaq informing the Company that its common stock (the “Common Stock”) had failed to comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was initially provided 180 calendar days, or until July 22, 2026, to regain compliance.
If at any time during the Second Compliance Period, the closing bid price of the Common Stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance. If compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement cannot be demonstrated by January 19, 2027, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Common Stock will be delisted from Nasdaq. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a hearings panel.
