Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On July 16, 2015, NeuroMetrix, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued inclusion on The NASDAQ Capital Market under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notification letter states that pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) the Company will be afforded 180 calendar days, or until January 12, 2016, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In order to regain compliance, shares of the Company’s common stock must maintain a minimum bid closing price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. If the Company does not regain compliance by January 12, 2016, NASDAQ may provide written notification to the Company that the Company’s common stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal NASDAQ’s delisting determination to a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel. Alternatively, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 day grace period if it satisfies all of the requirements, other than the minimum bid price requirement, for listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5505. The notification letter has no effect at this time on the listing of the Company’s common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market.

 

The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price for its common stock between now and January 12, 2016 while demonstrating progress with its newest product, Quell, which was commercially launched in June 2015. The Company believes that this will improve investor confidence and increase the market valuation of its common stock.
