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

On January 11, 2024, Exicure, Inc. (the “Company”) received a delinquency notification letter (the “Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that since it has not yet held an annual meeting of shareholders within twelve months of the end of the Company’s December 31, 2022 fiscal year end, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a), which requires listed companies to hold an annual meeting of shareholders.

The Letter states that, the Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan addressing how it intends to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules and, if Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, it may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the Company’s fiscal year end, or until June 28, 2024, to regain compliance.

The Company intends to submit a plan and seek such an extension to regain compliance within these time frames.
