ENGLEWOOD, CO / ACCESSWIRE / December 17, 2020 / Viveve Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIVE), a medical technology company focused on women's intimate health, announced today that it received notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (NASDAQ) on December 16, 2020 that the Company has regained compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market. Accordingly, Viveve is in compliance with all applicable listing standards and its common stock will continue to be listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market.
Viveve had previously received written notice from NASDAQ on April 21, 2020 that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price rule because its common stock failed to meet the closing bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for more than 30 consecutive business days. Under the NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) and the relief granted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company was given 180 calendar days beginning July 1, 2020 to regain compliance by maintaining a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 or more per share for at least ten consecutive trading days. This requirement was met on December 15, 2020, the tenth consecutive trading day on which the closing bid price of Viveve's common stock was over $1.00.
About Viveve
Viveve Medical, Inc. is a medical technology company focused on women's intimate health. Viveve is committed to advancing new solutions to improve women's overall well-being and quality of life. The internationally patented Viveve® System incorporates Cryogen-cooled Monopolar Radiofrequency technology to uniformly deliver volumetric heating while gently cooling surface tissue to generate neocollagenesis in a single in-office session. In the United States, the Viveve® System is cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis. International regulatory approvals and clearances have been received for vaginal laxity and/or improvement in sexual function indications in more than 50 countries.
Viveve continues to advance its clinical development program in stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Recently reported FDA approved changes to the U.S. pivotal PURSUIT trial protocol are intended to strengthen the overall study and its potential to achieve its primary efficacy endpoint. Study changes including an increase in the trial's size and more strict patient selection criteria were a result of guidance from Viveve's Clinical Advisory Board upon review of positive results from the Company's SUI feasibility and preclinical studies. Viveve received FDA approval of its IDE application to conduct the multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled PURSUIT trial for improvement of SUI in women in July 2020 and FDA approval of its requested amendments to the IDE protocol as reported on December 10, 2020. The Company plans to initiate the PURSUIT trial in the coming weeks. If positive, results from the PURSUIT trial may support a new SUI indication in the U.S.
