Item 3.01    Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On May 23, 2024, Kineta, Inc. (the "Company") received written notice (the "Notice") from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") informing the Company that it no longer complies with the requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders' equity for continued listing on Nasdaq because the Company reported stockholders' equity of negative $6,243,000 in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024, and, as of the date of the Notice, the Company did not meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's securities.
The Company has 45 calendar days, or until July 8, 2024, to submit a plan to regain compliance, which the Company plans to timely submit for the Staff's consideration. If the plan is accepted, the Staff may grant the Company an extension period of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice to evidence compliance.
The Company is currently evaluating its options for regaining compliance with the continued listing requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements or that the Staff will grant the Company a further extension of time to regain compliance, if applicable. If the Staff does not accept the Company's plan or if the Company is unable to regain compliance within any extension period granted by the Staff, the Company's common stock will be subject to delisting. In the event the Company receives notice that the Company's common stock is being delisted, Nasdaq's rules permit the Company to appeal the delisting determination by the Nasdaq staff to a hearings panel.
