Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported, on October 9, 2023, iSpecimen Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) received a deficiency notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), fails to comply with the $1 minimum bid price required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was initially provided 180 calendar days, or until April 8, 2024, to regain compliance.
On April 9, 2024, the Company received a notification letter from Nasdaq informing the Company that, while the Company has not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, Nasdaq has determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until October 7, 2024 (the “Second Compliance Period”), to regain compliance. If at any time during the Second Compliance Period, the closing bid price of the Common Stock is at least $1 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance. If compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement cannot be demonstrated by October 7, 2024, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Common Stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a Hearings Panel.
