Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

(a) As previously disclosed, on October 21, 2022, Curis, Inc. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Bid Price Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (the “Compliance Period Rule”), the Company was provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until April 19, 2023 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

On April 20, 2023, Nasdaq notified the Company that its transfer from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market was approved, and that it was eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until October 16, 2023 (the “Extended Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. Effective at the opening of business on April 24, 2023, the Company’s common stock was transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market.

If, at any time before the Extended Compliance Date, the bid price for the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under the Compliance Period Rule, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it complies with the Bid Price Rule, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10 day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H).
