Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or
Item 3.01 Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On December 6, 2022, Tricida, Inc. (the "Company") received a notice from The
Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") that the Company was not in compliance with
Nasdaq's Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), as the minimum bid price of the Company's
common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days
(the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). Also on December 6, 2022, the Company
received a separate notice from Nasdaq that the Company was not in compliance
with Nasdaq's Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), as the market value of listed
securities (the "MVLS") for the Company's common stock had been below the
minimum MVLS requirement of $50,000,000 for 30 consecutive business days (the
"MVLS Requirement"), and that the Company also does not comply with either of
the two alternative standards of Listing Rule 5450(b), the equity standard and
the total assets and total revenue standard.
The notices have no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's
common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Global
Select Market, subject to the Company's compliance with the other Nasdaq listing
requirements. Each notice of noncompliance indicated that the Company would be
provided 180 calendar days, or until June 5, 2023, in which to regain compliance
with the respective listing requirement.
To regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, 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-calendar day grace
period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid
Price Requirement by June 5, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional
180-calendar day compliance period if it elects to transfer to The Nasdaq
Capital Market to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on
that market. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet 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 bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its
intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period.
To regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement, the Company's MVLS must close at
$50,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this
180-calendar day grace period. In the event the Company does not regain
compliance with the MVLS Requirement by June 5, 2023, the Company may be
eligible to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market. To qualify, the Company would
be required to meet the continued listing requirements for The Nasdaq Capital
Market. If the Company does not regain compliance or transfer to The Nasdaq
Capital Market before June 5, 2023, the Company will receive a written
notification from Nasdaq that its common stock is subject to delisting. If the
Company were to receive such a notification, the Company could appeal Nasdaq's
determination to delist its common stock, but there can be no assurance Nasdaq
would grant the Company's request for continued listing.
The Company is continuing to assess its options and intends to actively monitor
the closing bid price and the market value of its common stock. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Company will regain compliance with Nasdaq's
Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) or 5450(b)(2)(A) or will otherwise be in compliance with
other Nasdaq listing criteria.
