Item 3.01 |
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing |
On June 27, 2023, Kineta, Inc. (“Company”) received written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “Rule”) because the Company has not maintained a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) of at least $35 million for the last 30 consecutive business days. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities.
The Company has 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until December 26, 2023, to regain compliance. If at any time during this 180 day period the MVLS is at least $35 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the MVLS requirement within the compliance period, the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. In the event the Company receives notice that the Company’s common stock is being delisted, Nasdaq’s rules permit the Company to appeal the delisting determination by the Nasdaq staff to a hearings panel.
The Company intends to monitor the market value of the Company’s listed securities and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the MVLS requirement.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the MVLS requirement.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
