<p style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">As previously reported, on March 28, 2017, the Company received a letter from the staff (the &ldquo;Staff&rdquo;) of Nasdaq providing notification that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company<font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">&rsquo;s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Global Select Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until September 25, 2017, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The Company now expects to be granted an additional 180 calendar day period to regain compliance, which will commence on September 26, 2017. The Company intends to monitor the bid price of its common stock and other continued listing standards on the Capital Market and will consider options available to it to achieve compliance with the minimum bid price requirement in this additional 180 calendar day period.</font></p>

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On September 19, 2017, Aviragen Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") received a notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that its application to transfer its common stock from The Nasdaq Global Select Market (the "Global Select Market") to The Nasdaq Capital Market (the "Capital Market") has been approved. At the opening of business o
n September 21, 2017, trading in the Company's common stock will be transferred to the Capital Market. The Company's common shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol "AVIR." This transfer to the Capital Market should not affect the trading of the Company's common stock. The Capital Market is a continuous trading market that operates in substantially the same manner as the Global Select Market, but with less stringent listing requirements.
As previously reported, on March 28, 2017, the Company received a letter from the staff (the "Staff") of Nasdaq providing notification that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company
's common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Global Select Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until September 25, 2017, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The Company now expects to be granted an additional 180 calendar day period to regain compliance, which will commence on September 26, 2017. The Company intends to monitor the bid price of its common stock and other continued listing standards on the Capital Market and will consider options available to it to achieve compliance with the minimum bid price requirement in this additional 180 calendar day period.
Except for the factual statements made herein, information contained in this report consists of forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. federal securities law, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Words such as "will," "believes," "intends," "expects," "plans," and similar expressions, or the use of future tense, identify forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and actual actions or events could differ materially from those contained in such statements. For example, there can be no assurance that the Company will meet the bid price requirement during any compliance period or in the future, or otherwise meet Nasdaq continued listing standards, or that Nasdaq will grant the Company any relief from delisting as necessary or that the Company can ultimately meet applicable Nasdaq requirements for any such relief. The forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as of the date of this report and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in information, events or circumstances after the date of this report, unless required by law.
