Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On September 19, 2023, Elevation Oncology, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that, because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock has fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer complies with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until March 18, 2024, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to March 18, 2024.
If the Company does not regain compliance by March 18, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day grace period if it applies to transfer the listing of its common stock to The Nasdaq Capital Market. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of its publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and provide written notice of its intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Nasdaq staff determines that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible for such additional compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would have the right to appeal a determination to delist its common stock, and the common stock would remain listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market until the completion of the appeal process.
The Company is considering actions that it may take in response to the Notice in order to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements, but no decision about a response has been made at this time. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.
Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On September 21, 2023, Colin Walsh, Ph.D., notified the Company of his resignation from the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), effective immediately. Dr. Walsh’s decision was primarily due to his pursuit of other professional opportunities and was not a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. The Company thanks Dr. Walsh for his service on the Board and wishes him well in his future pursuits. In connection with Dr. Walsh’s resignation, the Board appointed Steven A. Elms as a member of the Board’s Audit Committee to fill the vacancy left by Dr. Walsh.
