Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed, on February 21, 2025, Curis, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Requirement”), as the market value of the Company’s listed securities had been below $35,000,000 for the previous 30 consecutive trading days. Nasdaq provided the Company with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until August 20, 2025 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement.
On August 21, 2025, the Company received notice from the Staff stating that, because the Company has not regained compliance with the MVLS Requirement, its securities would be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market unless the Company timely appeals the Staff’s delisting determination by requesting a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) by August 28, 2025.
The Company intends to make a timely request for a hearing before the Panel to appeal the Staff’s determination. The Company’s request for a hearing will stay the suspension and delisting of the Company’s securities by the Staff pending the ultimate outcome of the hearing. The Company’s common stock will remain listed and eligible for trading on Nasdaq pending the Panel’s decision; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately regain compliance and remain listed on Nasdaq.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
