Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On August 19, 2026, BioCardia, Inc. (the "Company") received a written notice (the "Notice") from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the minimum bid price of the Company's common stock had been below the $1.00 per share minimum requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement").
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until February 16, 2027, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Notice states that the Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) if, at any time before February 16, 2027, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock is $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock.
In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by February 16, 2027, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company will 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 Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, the Company will be granted an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. If the Company does not qualify for or fails to regain compliance during the second compliance period, then the Nasdaq staff will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel.
The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the 180-day compliance period ending February 16, 2027, secure an extension of the compliance period beyond February 16, 2027 or maintain compliance with any other Nasdaq listing requirements.
