DURECT Receives Additional 180-Day Grace Period from Nasdaq to Regain Compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘SEC’) on January 10, 2025, DURECT Corporation (the ‘Company’) received a letter (the ‘Notice’) from The Nasdaq Stock Market (‘Nasdaq’), dated January 9, 2025, advising the Company that for 30 consecutive trading days preceding the date of the Notice, the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the ‘Minimum Bid Price Requirement’). The Notice stated that the Company had 180 days, or until July 8, 2025, to demonstrate its compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On July 9, 2025, the Company received approval from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq for an additional 180-day grace period, or until January 5, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement (the ‘Approval’). To regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and qualify for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, the minimum bid price per share of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the additional 180-day grace period. If the Company does not regain compliance during this additional grace period, its common stock would be subject to delisting by Nasdaq. As part of its request for an additional 180-day grace period, the Company notified Nasdaq that (i) the Company meets the continued listing standard for market value of publicly-held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market, other than the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and (ii) if the Company’s stock price does not recover sufficiently during the additional grace period, it anticipates implementing and completing a reverse stock split by no later than December 16, 2025, if necessary. The Company intends to continue actively monitoring the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock during the additional grace period, and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If the Company does not regain compliance within the additional grace period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the 180-day additional grace period or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.
