Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
Alimera Sciences, Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “us”) received notice in June 2018 from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that we failed to comply with the Nasdaq Global Market’s minimum bid requirement because our stock price was below $1.00 per common share for 30 consecutive business days. On July 30, 2018, we received a letter from Nasdaq informing us that we have regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement because our common stock had a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for 10 consecutive business days.
Given that our stock price is currently trading close to $1.00 per share, however, it is possible that we may again fail to comply with Nasdaq’s minimum bid requirement. If that were to occur and we were to fail to regain compliance with this continuing listing requirement, our shares could be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market, which could materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and have an adverse effect on its market price. A delisting would likely make it more difficult for us to obtain financing through the sale of our equity. Any such sale of equity would likely be more dilutive to our current shareholders than would be the case if our shares were listed. For more information about this matter and the effects on us if again fail to comply with Nasdaq’s minimum bid requirement, please see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 19, 2018 and filed with the SEC on June 22, 2018.
