Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On December 20, 2023, DBV Technologies S.A. (the “Company”), received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) had closed below $1.00 per share, the minimum closing bid price required by the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
The notification received has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s ADSs on the Nasdaq Stock Market. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until June 17, 2024 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s ADSs must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days before the Compliance Date.
If the Company’s ADSs do not achieve compliance by the Compliance Date, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period to regain compliance if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its ADSs between now and the Compliance Date and will evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule.
