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

On May 14, 2015, StemCells, Inc. (the "Company") received written notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") that the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, and that the Company was therefore not in compliance with the requirements for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

The Company was given 180 calendar days, or until November 10, 2015, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. On November 5, 2015, the Company applied for an extension of the 180 calendar day compliance period under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3). The Company meets the applicable market value of publicly held shares requirement for continued listing and all applicable standards for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the bid price requirement. The Company also provided its intent to cure the minimum bid price deficiency. On November 11, 2015, Nasdaq granted the Company an additional 180 calendar days, or until May 9, 2016, to regain compliance with the bid price requirement.
