Neovasc Regains Compliance with Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Rule

Vancouver, British Columbia and Minneapolis, Minnesota–(Newsfile Corp. – May 16, 2022) – Neovasc Inc. (NASDAQ: NVCN) (TSX: NVCN) (“Neovasc” or the “Company”) announced today that it has received written notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”) informing the Company that it has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810 for continued listing on the Nasdaq.

As previously reported, on May 24, 2021, Neovasc received a letter from the Nasdaq notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in the Nasdaq Rules for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share, and Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until November 22, 2021, to regain compliance. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(i), the Company requested and was granted a second 180-calendar day period, or until May 23, 2022, within which to evidence compliance with the $1.00 bid price requirement.

On May 13, 2022, Neovasc received notification from the Nasdaq stating that since the closing bid price of the Company’s common shares had been greater than US$1.00 per share for the last 10 consecutive business days, from April 29, 2022 to May 12, 2022, Neovasc was in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and this matter is now closed.

The Company is also listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and regaining compliance on the Nasdaq does not affect the Company’s compliance status with such listing.
