Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On January 4, 2018, iBio, Inc. (the “Company”) received notification from the NYSE AMERICAN LLC (“NYSE American”) pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American’s Company Guide that, due to the Company’s current low selling share price, the Company’s continued listing on the NYSE American is predicated on the Company effecting a reverse stock split or otherwise demonstrating sustained improvement in its share price within a reasonable period of time, which the NYSE American has determined to be no later than July 5, 2018.

 

The Company’s common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE American while it attempts to regain compliance with the listing standards noted, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing requirements. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “IBIO,” but will have an added designation of “.BC” to indicate that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE American’s listing standards.

 

The NYSE American notification does not affect the Company’s business operations or its reporting obligations under the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and rules and does not conflict with or cause an event of default under any of the Company’s material agreements.

 

The Company issued a press release on the same day of this report announcing that it had received the notification from NYSE American. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
