Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On March 24, 2025, Biodesix, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until September 22, 2025 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If, at any time before the Compliance Date, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Staff will provide the Company written confirmation of compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and close the matter.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the Compliance Date, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period, provided that it meets the continued listing requirement for the 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 notifies the Staff in writing of its intention to cure the deficiency during the additional compliance period.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the Compliance Date and is not eligible for an additional compliance period at that time, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearing Panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or otherwise maintain compliance with any of the other Nasdaq listing requirements.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and will consider various options available to it if its common stock does not trade at a level to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. These options include effecting a reverse stock split designed to increase the bid price of the Company’s common stock in an amount sufficient to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. There can be no assurances that a reverse stock split will be consummated or that it will achieve its intended effects.
