Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or
Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On August 24, 2022, Humanigen, Inc. (the "Company") received a notification
letter (the "Notice") from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq
Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Company is not in compliance
with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed
securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and Listing Rule
5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement
exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days.
The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock,
par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), which continues to trade on The
Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "HGEN."
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180
calendar days, or until February 20, 2023, to regain compliance. If at any time
before February 20, 2023, the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock
closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business
days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved
compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, and the matter will be
resolved. If the Company does not regain compliance during the compliance period
ending February 20, 2023, then Nasdaq may grant the Company a second 180
calendar day period to regain compliance, provided the Company meets 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.
If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance
periods, including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will
provide notice that the Common Stock will be subject to delisting. The Company
would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel.
There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the
minimum bid price requirement during the 180-day compliance period, secure a
second period of 180 days to regain compliance or maintain compliance with the
other Nasdaq listing requirements.
