Item 3.01.

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

 

As disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 15, 2020, Vaxart, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that Andrei Floroiu was appointed the Company’s Chief Executive Officer effective as of June 14, 2020. Mr. Floroiu remains a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), however in light of his appointment to serve as an executive officer, he resigned from the Audit Committee of the Board. Accordingly, the Audit Committee currently has two members. Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “Listing Rules”) requires that all listed companies’ audit committees comprise at least three independent directors, although Listing Rule 5605(c)(4)(B) provides a specified cure period to fill any audit committee vacancy created by the resignation of an audit committee member.

 

As expected, on June 22, 2020, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq noting that the Company was not in compliance with the requirement of Listing Rule 5605 (the “Rule”). The letter also acknowledged that the Listing Rules provide a cure period in order for the Company to regain compliance until the earlier of the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders or June 14, 2021 (or by December 11, 2020, if such meeting is held before December 11, 2020). The Company must submit to Nasdaq documentation, including the biography of any new director, evidencing compliance with the Rule no later than this date. The Company intends to comply with Nasdaq’s audit committee requirements as set forth in the Rule within the cure period provided by Nasdaq and will evidence such compliance to Nasdaq no later than this date.
