Item 3.01.

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

 

XOMA Corporation (the “Company”) received a letter from the staff (the “Staff”) of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) on March 15, 2016 providing notification that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under NASDAQ’s Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), requiring a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).

 

The notification of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market.  In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), if during the 180 calendar days following the date of the notification, or prior to March 2, 2016, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance.

 

If the Company does not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by September 12, 2016, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days compliance period if it elects to transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market, so as to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. However, if it appears to the Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, the Staff would notify the Company that its securities would be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to delist its securities, but there can be no assurance the Staff would grant the Company’s request for continued listing.

 

The Company intends 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 under the NASDAQ Listing Rules.
