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

On July 21, 2023, Nabriva Therapeutics plc (the “Company”) received a delisting determination letter (the “Determination Letter”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). The Determination Letter indicated that, based on (i) the Company’s continued non-compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s requirement to have a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2,500,000 under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”) and (ii) the Company’s confirmation that it did not intend to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Rule, the Company’s ordinary shares, nominal value $0.01 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), will be suspended from trading on Nasdaq at the open of business on August 1, 2023, unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination. The Determination Letter also indicated that unless the Company requests an appeal of Nasdaq’s determination, Nasdaq intends to file a Form 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to effect the formal delisting of the Company’s Ordinary Shares from Nasdaq. The Company does not plan to appeal Nasdaq’s determination.

As previously disclosed, the Company was initially notified by Nasdaq on May 25, 2023 that the Company was not in compliance with the Rule because the stockholders’ equity (deficit) of the Company of $(4,357,000) as of March 31, 2023, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023, was below the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $2,500,000.

The Ordinary Shares may be eligible to be quoted on the Pink Open Market operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. if a market maker sponsors the security and complies with Rule 15c2-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, but the Company can provide no assurances that a public market for trading the Ordinary Shares will exist after the expected suspension of trading on August 1, 2023.
