Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On July 20, 2026, VivoSim Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), received a written notice (the "Notice") from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that, since the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended March 31, 2026, reported stockholders' equity of $(1,099,000), and as of July 20, 2026, the Company did not meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations, the Company no longer met the requirement to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders' equity, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) ("Rule 5550(b)(1)").
The Company has 45 calendar days from July 20, 2026, or until September 3, 2026, to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with Rule 5550(b)(1). If Nasdaq accepts the Company's plan, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from July 20, 2026, or until January 16, 2027, to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company's plan, the Company will have the right to appeal such decision to a Nasdaq hearings panel.
Although the Company intends to submit to Nasdaq, within the requisite time period, a plan to regain compliance with Rule 5550(b)(1), as of the date of this filing, the Company's stockholders' equity is in excess of $2.5 million, as a result of certain transactions described below in Item 8.01. There can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Company's plan or that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with Rule 5550(b)(1) or maintain compliance with any other Nasdaq requirement in the future.
The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock and the Company's common stock continues to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "VIVS."
