Item 8.01 | Other Events |
On August 5, 2020, Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that as a result of the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock having been at $1.00 per share or greater for at least ten consecutive business days, the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq's Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market, and the matter is now closed. On October 11, 2019, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price rule because the common stock failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 over the previous 30 consecutive business days as required by Nasdaq’s listing rules. The Company received additional communications from Nasdaq in April 2020 that ultimately extended the deadline to regain compliance to December 21, 2020. From July 22, 2020 to August 4, 2020, the Company’s closing bid price for ADMP has been at $1.00 per share or greater.
A copy of a press release issued by the Company on August 5, 2020 regarding the above matters is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

SAN DIEGO--(August 5, 2020)- Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (NASDAQ: ADMP) announced today that it has received a letter from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Staff (“Nasdaq”) notifying the company that as a result of the closing bid price of the company’s common stock having been at $1.00 per share or greater for at least ten consecutive business days, the company has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement and the matter is now closed.

The company received additional communications from Nasdaq on April 14th and April 21st indicating that ultimately extended the deadline to regain compliance to December 21, 2020.
