Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule
or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed, on December 21, 2021, Trevena, Inc. (the "Company")
received a letter (the "Notice") from the Listing Qualifications Department (the
"Staff" or "Nasdaq") 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 "Bid Price
Requirement"). The Company had 180 days, or until June 20, 2022, to achieve
compliance with the minimum Bid Price Requirement.
The Company determined that it would not be in compliance with the minimum Bid
Price Requirement by June 20, 2022. As a result, the Company notified Nasdaq and
applied for an extension of the compliance period, as permitted under the
original notification. In the application, the Company indicated that it met the
continued listing requirement for market value of publicly-held shares and all
other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the
exception of the minimum closing bid price, and provided written notice of its
intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period of an
additional 180 days by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. On June
21, 2022, the Company received notification from the Staff that the date to
achieve compliance has been extended an additional 180 days until December 19,
2022.
To regain compliance, the minimum bid price of the Company's common stock must
meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days
during this 180-day grace period. If the Company fails to regain compliance on
or prior to December 19, 2022, the Company's stock will be subject to delisting
by Nasdaq, unless the Company timely requests a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings
Panel. The request for a hearing will stay any suspension or delisting action
pending the issuance of the decision of the Nasdaq Hearings Panel following the
hearing and the expiration of any additional extension granted by the Nasdaq
Hearings Panel.
The Notice has no effect at this time on the listing of the Company's common
stock, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the
symbol "TRVN".
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of the Company's common
stock and consider its available options if the closing bid price of the
Company's common stock remains below $1.00 per share. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Bid Price
Requirement, even if it maintains compliance with the other listing
requirements.
