ITEM 3.01 |
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On June 20, 2025, Sutro Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Global Market, as set forth in Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until December 17, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-day period.
If the Company is not in compliance by December 17, 2025, the Company may be afforded a second 180 calendar day period to regain compliance, if it elects to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The NASDAQ Capital Market, except for the minimum bid price requirement. In addition, the Company would be required to notify NASDAQ of its intent to cure the minimum bid price deficiency, which may include, if necessary, implementing a reverse stock split.
If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance periods, including any extensions that may be granted by NASDAQ, NASDAQ will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal the NASDAQ Staff’s determination to a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel and request a hearing.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and, if necessary, plans to implement a reverse stock split prior to December 17, 2025.
