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

As previously disclosed, on June 29, 2022, PhaseBio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), as the minimum bid price of the Company’s common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). As also previously disclosed, on June 29, 2022, the Company received a separate notice from Nasdaq that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), as the market value of listed securities (the “MVLS requirement”) for the Company’s common stock had been below the minimum MVLS requirement of $50,000,000 for 30 consecutive business days. Each notification of noncompliance indicated that the Company would be provided 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance with the respective listing requirement.

On August 4, 2022, Nasdaq notified the Company that the Company had regained compliance with both (i) the Minimum Bid Price Requirement based on the closing bid prices of the Company’s common stock having been at $1.00 per share or greater for ten consecutive business days, and (ii) the MVLS requirement based on the Company’s market value of listed securities having been $50,000,000 or greater for ten consecutive business days.

Because the Company has regained compliance with these requirements, Nasdaq’s notifications indicated that these matters were now closed.
