Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed, on November 11, 2015, Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff (the “Nasdaq Staff”) of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for 30 consecutive business days, it no longer met the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
On May 11, 2016, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Staff notifying the Company that it has not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and is not eligible for an additional period to regain compliance. The letter further notified the Company that, unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination, (i) the Nasdaq Staff has determined that the Company’s common stock will be scheduled for delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market and will be suspended at the opening of business on May 20, 2016 and (ii) Nasdaq will file a Form 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company’s common stock from listing and registration on Nasdaq.
The Company does not intend to request an appeal of the Nasdaq Staff’s delisting determination. The Company expects that upon suspension of trading in its common stock on Nasdaq, the Company’s common stock will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. However, the Company can give no assurance that trading in its common stock will continue on the OTC Bulletin Board or on any securities exchange or other quotation system.
