Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. Receives NYSE American Notice

Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE American: NAVB) (“Navidea” or the “Company”), a company focused on the development of precision immunodiagnostic agents and immunotherapeutics, today announced that it received a Notice (the “Notice”) on June 1, 2023 from the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards as set forth in Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide (“Company Guide”).

The Notice stated that because the Company’s common stock had been trading for a low price per share for a substantial period of time, the Company was not in compliance with Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide. The NYSE American staff determined that the Company’s continued listing is predicated on it demonstrating sustained price improvement within a reasonable period of time or effecting a reverse stock split of its common stock, which the staff determined to be until December 1, 2023, and could be extended to the Company’s next annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2023. The Company intends to regain compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing standards by undertaking a measure or measures that are considered necessary and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock and the common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE American under the symbol “NAVB”. The Company remains subject to the conditions set forth in the NYSE American’s letters dated January 28, 2022 and April 8, 2022 for stockholders’ equity noncompliance. The Company will continue to be included in the list of NYSE American noncompliant issuers and the below compliance (“.BC”) indicator will continue to be disseminated with the Company’s ticker symbol(s). The website posting and .BC indicator will be removed when the Company has regained compliance with all applicable continued listing standards. Additionally, the Notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s stock from the NYSE American. The Company’s receipt of the Notice does not affect the Company’s business, operations or reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is actively engaged in discussions with the NYSE American and is developing plans to regain compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing standards within the time period indicated.
