Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On November 21, 2022, Entera Bio
Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”), received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), stating that the Company’s ordinary shares, par value of NIS 0.0000769 per share (the “ordinary shares”),
fail to comply with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) based upon the closing bid price of the ordinary shares for the 30 consecutive business days prior to
the date of the Notice.
Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or
until May 22, 2023, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If at any time before May 22, 2023, the closing bid of the Company’s ordinary shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, then the
Company will be deemed to have regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, following which, Nasdaq will provide a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.
If the Company is unable to regain compliance by May 22, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180
calendar day compliance period to demonstrate compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial
listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting
a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance during the second 180 calendar day period, then Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist the
ordinary shares, at which point the Company would have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.
The Company will monitor the closing bid price of its ordinary shares. Receipt of the Notice has no effect on the Company’s business
operations.
