IMV Receives Nasdaq Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price Deficiency
IMV Inc. ("IMV" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:IMV, TSX:IMV), a clinical-stage company developing a portfolio of immune-educating therapies based on its novel DPX® platform to treat solid and hematologic cancers, today announced that on March 29, 2023, IMV Inc. (the "Company") received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company's common shares for the 30 consecutive business day period between February 14, 2023, through March 28, 2023, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
The letter also indicated that the Company will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until September 25, 2023 (the "Compliance Period"), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement, the Company's common shares must maintain a minimum closing bid price of at least US$1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the Compliance Period.
In the event the Company does not regain compliance by the end of the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will be unable to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is not otherwise eligible for the additional cure period, the Company may face delisting.
The letter has no immediate impact on the Company's business operations or listing of the Company's common shares, which will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company's compliance with the other listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market, as well as on the TSX.
