Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On June 5, 2025, Talphera, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) granting the Company an additional 180 days, until December 1, 2025 (the “Second Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the $1.00 bid price requirement, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance with such minimum price requirement, the Company must evidence a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.
As previously announced, on December 6, 2024, the Staff notified the Company that the bid price for the common stock had closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days and, as a result, the Company no longer satisfied Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), the minimum bid price requirement applicable to The Nasdaq Global Select Market issuers. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was afforded an initial 180-calendar day grace period, through June 4, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.
Issuers listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market are not eligible for a second 180-day grace period under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, based upon the Company’s compliance with the various criteria required under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(ii) to obtain a second 180-day grace period applicable to issuers listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company applied to transfer the listing of its common stock to The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s common stock was transferred to The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on May 30, 2025 and the Company’s common stock continues to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “TLPH”.
The Company intends to closely monitor the closing bid price for its common stock and consider all available options to timely remedy the bid price deficiency. 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, the Staff will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this ten-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H). The Company has provided written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the Second Compliance Period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
The Company can give no assurance that it will regain or demonstrate compliance during the Second Compliance Period. If the Company is not able to demonstrate compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by December 1, 2025, or the Company does not comply with the terms of the extension, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that the common stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Company’s appeal request would stay any delisting action by the Staff at least pending a hearing before the Panel and the expiration of any extension that may be granted by the Panel to the Company following the hearing.
