Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

As previously disclosed, on June 11, 2024, TRACON Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) received a determination letter (the “Delisting Notification”) from Nasdaq stating that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) has determined to delist the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), pending a request for a review of the Panel’s delisting determination. As a result, the Company began trading on OTCQB Venture Market as of June 28, 2024 and requested a review of the Panel’s decision.

On July 10, 2024, the Company notified Nasdaq of its withdrawal of the appeal and has requested that Nasdaq file with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration on Form 25 to delist and deregister the Company’s common stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On July 12, 2024, Nasdaq notified the Company that it will delist the Company’s common stock on July 16, 2024 and will file a Form 25. The delisting of the common stock from Nasdaq will be effective 10 days after the filing of the Form 25.
