On June 5, 2018, Acasti Pharma Inc. (the “Corporation”) received written notification from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (“Nasdaq”) for failing to maintain a minimum bid price of U.S.$1.00 per share for the last 30 consecutive business days, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) – bid price (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”).

The Nasdaq notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Corporation’s shares. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) – compliance period, the Corporation has 180 calendar days, or until December 3, 2018, to regain compliance. If at any time over this period the bid price of the Corporation’s shares closes at U.S.$1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.

If the Corporation does not regain compliance within the initial 180-day period, but otherwise meets the continued listing requirements for market value of publicly-held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5505 – Capital Market criteria, except for the Minimum Bid Price Rule, the Corporation may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. If the Corporation is not granted additional time, then its shares will be subject to delisting, at which time the Corporation may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

The Corporation intends to evaluate all available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.

This Report on Form 6-K including the exhibits hereto shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Corporation’s registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-191383) and to be a part thereof from the date on which this report is furnished, to the extent not superseded by documents or reports subsequently filed or furnished.
