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

 

As previously disclosed, on May 11, 2018, InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) received a written notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based on the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company’s stockholders’ equity was $8,323,000, and therefore, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A), which requires a $10 million minimum stockholders’ equity standard.

 

On June 13, 2018, the board of directors of the Company determined to apply to transfer the listing of the Company’s common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market, which requires the Company to maintain at least $2.5 million of stockholders’ equity. On June 15, 2018,  the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq approving the transfer of the listing of the Company’s common stock from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market. This transfer is expected to become effective at the opening of business on June 19, 2018. The Nasdaq Capital Market operates in substantially the same manner as the Nasdaq Global Market, and, as with the Nasdaq Global Market, listed companies must meet certain financial requirements and comply with Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “NVIV.”
