Item 3.01  Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On August 19, 2019, Cleveland BioLabs, Inc. (the "
Company
") received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications staff of Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("
NASDAQ
") indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) ("
Rule 5550(b)(1)
") as the Company's stockholders' equity, as reported on the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2019, was below $2.5 million, which is the minimum stockholders' equity required for compliance with Rule 5550(b)(1).  The notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
Pursuant to the written notice and under applicable NASDAQ Rules, the Company has been granted a 45-calendar day compliance period, or until October 3, 2019, to submit a plan to regain compliance. If NASDAQ accepts the Company's plan, NASDAQ may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the notice, or until March 31, 2020, for the Company to demonstrate compliance with Rule 5550(b)(1). If NASDAQ does not accept the Company's plan, the Company will have the right to appeal such decision to a NASDAQ hearings panel.
The Company is currently evaluating various courses of action to regain compliance with Rule 5550(b)(1) and intends to timely submit a plan to NASDAQ to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.  Although the Company will use all reasonable efforts to achieve compliance with Rule 5550(b)(1), there can be no assurance that the Company's plan will be accepted or that if it is, the Company will be able to regain compliance and maintain its listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market.  If the Company's plan to regain compliance is not accepted or if NASDAQ does not grant an extension and the Company does not regain compliance within the requisite time period, or if the Company fails to satisfy another NASDAQ requirement for continued listing, NASDAQ could provide notice that the Company's securities will become subject to delisting.
