Item 8.01 Other Events.
On April 12, 2018, Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that the NYSE American (the “Exchange”) had notified the Company that it had regained compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards.
Going forward, the Company will be subject to the Exchange’s normal continued listing monitoring. If the Company is again determined to be below any of the Exchange’s continued listing standards within twelve (12) months of the notice, the Exchange will examine the relationship between the Company’s two incidents of noncompliance and re-evaluate the Company’s method of financial recovery from the first incident. The Exchange will then take the appropriate action, which depending on the circumstances, may include truncating the compliance procedures or immediately initiating delisting procedures.
The “below compliance” (“.BC”) indicator has no longer been disseminated since April 13, 2018, and the Company has been removed from the list of noncompliant issuers on the NYSE American website.
