IMV Receives Nasdaq Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price Deficiency
March 31 2023 - 4:15PM
Business Wire
IMV Inc. (“IMV” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: IMV;
TSX: IMV), a clinical-stage company developing a portfolio of
immune-educating therapies based on its novel DPX® platform to
treat solid and hematologic cancers, today announced that on March
29, 2023, IMV Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the
Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market
(“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the
Company’s common shares for the 30 consecutive business day period
between February 14, 2023, through March 28, 2023, the Company did
not meet the minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share required for
continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Notice has no immediate effect on the
listing of the Company’s common shares on the Nasdaq Capital
Market.
The letter also indicated that the Company will be provided with
a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until September 25,
2023 (the “Compliance Period”), in which to regain compliance
pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). In order to regain
compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, the
Company’s common shares must maintain a minimum closing bid price
of at least US$1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days
during the Compliance Period.
In the event the Company does not regain compliance by the end
of the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for an
additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. However, if it
appears to Nasdaq that the Company will be unable to cure the
deficiency, or if the Company is not otherwise eligible for the
additional cure period, the Company may face delisting.
The letter has no immediate impact on the Company’s business
operations or listing of the Company’s common shares, which will
continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market,
subject to the Company’s compliance with the other listing
requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market, as well as on the
TSX.
About IMV
IMV Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company
developing a novel class of cancer vaccines based on DPX®, our
immune-educating technology platform. DPX is designed to inform a
specific, coordinated and persistent anti-tumor immune response,
improving the lives of patients with solid or hematological
cancers. DPX can package a wide range of bioactive molecules in a
single formulation to incite the tumor-killing function of
multiple, distinct immune cell subtypes. IMV’s lead therapeutic
candidate, maveropepimut-S (MVP-S), is a DPX-based cancer vaccine
that delivers antigenic peptides from survivin, a well-recognized
cancer antigen commonly overexpressed in advanced cancers. MVP-S
also delivers an innate immune activator and a universal CD4 T cell
helper peptide. Together, these elements are designed to foster
maturation of antigen presenting cells as well as robust activation
of CD8 T cell effector and memory function that drive a targeted,
sustained immune response. In our clinical trials, MVP-S treatment
has been well tolerated and has demonstrated favorable clinical
outcomes in multiple cancer indications as well as the activation
of a targeted and sustained, survivin-specific anti-tumor immune
response. MVP-S is administered in very low doses approximately
once every two months, which drives a persistent immune attack on
tumor cells. MVP-S is currently being evaluated in Phase 2B
clinical trials for advanced r/r Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma
(DLBCL) and platinum resistant ovarian cancer. IMV is also
developing a dual-targeted cancer vaccine candidate leveraging the
DPX delivery platform, DPX-SurMAGE. This cancer vaccine combines
antigenic peptides for both the survivin and MAGE-A9 cancer
proteins to elicit immune responses to these two distinct cancer
antigens simultaneously. For more information, visit
