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

On August 11, 2015, Delcath Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter (the “Notice”) from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) advising the Company that for 30 consecutive trading days preceding the date of the Notice, 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 Capital Market pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”).

The Notice has no effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock at this time and the Company’s common stock will continue to trade on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “DCTH.”

The Notice also stated that the Company will be provided 180 calendar days, or until February 8, 2016, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. To do so, the bid price of the Company’s common stock must close at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days prior to that date.

If, by February 8, 2016, the Company cannot demonstrate compliance with Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2), then the NASDAQ staff will determine whether or not the Company meets The NASDAQ Capital Market initial listing criteria set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5550, except for the bid price requirement.

If the Company meets the initial listing criteria (with the exception of the bid price requirement) and provides written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, the NASDAQ staff will notify the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar day compliance period.

If the Company is not eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period, the NASDAQ staff will provide written notice that the Company’s securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the NASDAQ staff’s determination to delist its securities to a Listing Qualifications Panel.
