Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

As previously disclosed, on August 6, 2019, Option Care Health, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a series of mergers (the “Mergers”), pursuant to which the businesses of Option Care Enterprises, Inc. and BioScrip, Inc. were combined.

On August 7, 2019, the Company received formal notice from the Staff of the Listing Qualifications department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that, since the Mergers constituted a business combination that resulted in a “Change of Control” under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5110(a), the Company was required to satisfy all applicable criteria for initial listing on Nasdaq upon consummation of the Mergers. At the time of the Mergers, the Company did not satisfy the minimum $4.00 bid price requirement, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5405(a)(1).

The Staff’s letter indicated that, as a result of the bid price deficiency at the time of the Mergers, the Company’s securities were subject to delisting unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Company plans to timely request a hearing before the Panel, which request will stay any further action by Nasdaq with respect to the Company’s listing at least pending the issuance of the Panel’s decision following the hearing and the expiration of any extension that the Panel may grant to the Company. At the hearing, the Company will present its plan to evidence compliance with the $4.00 bid price requirement and request continued listing on Nasdaq pending completion of that plan.

The Company plans to take all reasonable actions to evidence compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules and to maintain its listing on Nasdaq; however, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for additional time or that the Company will be able to satisfy the terms of any extension within the period of time granted to it by the Panel. To that end, the Company also plans to pursue the listing of its securities on the NYSE American exchange where it would satisfy all of the exchange’s initial listing criteria, including the applicable price requirement.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On August 13, 2019, the Company issued a press release regarding the letter received from the Staff. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
