Item 8.01 Other Events.
On September 1, 2015, Celsus Therapeutics Plc (the “Company”) received a written notification from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market.
The Company had previously announced that it had received notice from NASDAQ that the bid price of the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing ten (10) Ordinary Shares, par value £0.01, was below $1.00 per ADS for the previous 30 consecutive business days and, as a result, the Company was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) (the “Rule”). The Company was provided with 180 days, or until October 6, 2015, to regain compliance with the Rule. As a result of the Company’s ADSs closing with a bid price of at least $1.00 for at least 10 consecutive days, NASDAQ informed the Company that it has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and the matter is now closed.
