On July 17, 2015, Capnia, Inc. (“Capnia” or the “Company”) received a written notice of deficiency from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) on account of the Company’s failure to comply with NASDAQ’S Marketplace Rule 5550(b)(2), requiring the Company to maintain a $35 million minimum Market Value of Listed Securities for the Company’s common stock.
On January 8, 2016, the Company consummated the second closing of its private placement transaction (the “Private Placement”) with funds managed by Sabby Management, LLC (“Sabby”), pursuant to which it sold securities to Sabby for gross proceeds of approximately $5,445,000.40. The first closing was previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2015, at which time the Company sold securities to Sabby for gross proceeds of approximately $4,554,999.60. Following the second closing of the Private Placement, the Company has sold an aggregate of approximately $10,000,000 in securities (inclusive of the amounts raised in both the first closing and the second closing).
As a result of the Private Placement and the sale of securities to Sabby, the Company is as of January 8, 2016 in compliance with the NASDAQ’s Marketplace Rule 5550(b)(1), requiring the Company to maintain at least $2.5 million in Stockholders Equity. NASDAQ will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the continued listing standards for NASDAQ Capital Market Companies and, if at the time of its next periodic report the Company does not evidence compliance, that it may be subject to delisting.
