VivoSim Labs received a new Nasdaq delisting notice on August 17, 2026, this time for failing the $1 minimum bid price requirement. The stock has traded below $1 for 30 consecutive business days, triggering a 180-day compliance period ending February 16, 2027. This is a separate deficiency from the July 24 equity shortfall, which the company had announced it cured on August 6. The company plans to pursue a reverse stock split, already proposed in its proxy for the September 30 annual meeting, to regain compliance. While the notice has no immediate effect on trading, it adds fresh delisting risk and underscores the urgency of the reverse split vote.
