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

 

As previously reported, on February 9, 2022, Avalon GloboCare Corp. (the “Company”) (the “Company”), received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) therein indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the Company was not in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was granted 180 calendar days, or until August 8, 2022, to regain compliance.

 

On August 9, 2022, the Company received a second letter from the Staff advising that the Company had been granted an additional 180 calendar days, or to February 6, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

 

The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of its Common Stock and seek to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement within the allotted compliance period. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s 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 extension.
