Item 3.01.  Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On July 15, 2015, The Nasdaq Stock Market, notified ARCA biopharma, Inc. ("ARCA" or the "Company") that the Company had regained compliance with the applicable minimum bid price rule of The NASDAQ Capital Market
as set forth in NASDAQ Rule 5550(a)(2). Accordingly, the previous notice received by the Company on February 18, 2015 is now closed.
On June 22, 2015, the Company's stockholders
authorized the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") for a period of up to one year, to effect a reverse split of the Company's Common Stock, as described in more detail in the Company's 2015 Proxy Statement.  Although the Company has regained compliance with the Nasdaq listing standards, the Company's Board may still elect to proceed with the reverse split if, in the Board's judgment, it is considered to be in the best interest of the Company's
stockholders
