Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed, on August 21, 2025, Curis, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that, because the Company has not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Requirement”) which requires the market value of the Company’s listed securities to be at least $35,000,000, its securities would be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market unless the Company timely appeals the Staff’s delisting determination by requesting a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) by August 28, 2025. The Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel, which request stayed any further suspension or delisting action by the Staff, pending the ultimate conclusion of the hearing process.
On October 20, 2025, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Panel has granted the Company an exception until November 14, 2025 (“Exception Period”) to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement.
During the Exception Period, the Company is required to provide prompt notification of any significant events that occur during this period that may affect the Company’s compliance with Nasdaq requirements including any event that may call into question the Company’s ability to meet the terms of the exception granted. The Panel reserves the right to reconsider the terms of this exception based on any event, condition or circumstance that exists or develops that would, in the opinion of the Panel, make continued listing of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted. There can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately regain compliance and remain listed on Nasdaq.
