As previously reported, on October 25, 2022, Corvus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The letter also indicated that the Company had a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until April 24, 2023, in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). The letter further provided that if, at any time during the 180-day period, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff would provide the Company with written confirmation that it had achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

On April 21, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Staff notifying the Company that for the last 10 consecutive business days, from April 6, 2023 to April 20, 2023, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock has been at $1.00 per share or greater and, therefore, the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) and this matter is now closed.
