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

 

On May 19, 2020, KemPharm, Inc., or the Company, received a letter from the Hearings Panel of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC, or Nasdaq, notifying the Company that since it was unable to regain compliance with the $35 million minimum market value of listed securities requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market by May 13, 2020, the Hearings Panel has determined to delist the Company’s shares from Nasdaq, and will suspend trading in the Company’s shares effective at the open of business on May 21, 2020. Nasdaq will complete the delisting by filing a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission after all applicable appeal periods have lapsed.

 

The Company has submitted, and OTC Markets has accepted, the Company's application for trading of its common shares on the OTC Markets Venture Market, or the OTCQB, and expects that its common stock will begin trading on the OTCQB under the Company's current ticker symbol “KMPH” on May 21, 2020.

 

The Company will continue to remain a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

 

Trading on the OTCQB could impair the liquidity and market price of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the delisting of the Company’s common stock from a national exchange could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to access the capital markets, and any limitation on market liquidity or reduction in the price of the Company's common stock as a result of delisting could adversely impact the Company’s ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.
