Item 3.01 – Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported, on March 2, 2020, Sesen Bio, Inc. (the "Company") received written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). On April 17, 2020, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq that the 180-day grace period to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement has been extended in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and related extraordinary market conditions. As a result of this extension, the Company now has until November 12, 2020, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, including possibly effecting a reverse stock split.
