On June 15, 2016, Antares Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter (the “Notice”) from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) advising the Company that it had regained full compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”) for continued listing on the NASDAQ. The Company previously announced that on April 12, 2016, it received a letter from the NASDAQ advising the Company that it was not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule because for 30 consecutive trading days preceding the date of the letter, the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum required for continued listing on the NASDAQ.
The Notice advised that as of June 14, 2016, the Company’s common stock had a closing bid price at or above $1.00 for at least ten consecutive trading days. Accordingly, the Company has regained full compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule and NASDAQ considers this matter closed.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
