Item 8.01.      Other Events.

 

On October 5, 2018, the board of directors of Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Navidea”) resolved to voluntarily delist its common stock from The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. (“TASE”) in order to reduce the duplicative administrative requirements and costs associated with maintaining dual listing on the TASE and the NYSE American. Under applicable Israeli law, the delisting of Navidea’s common stock from trading on the TASE is expected to become effective approximately 90 days following the delisting request. Until such time, Navidea’s common stock will continue to be traded on the TASE.

 

Navidea will continue to file public reports in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NYSE American and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, Navidea’s common stock continues to be listed for trading on the NYSE American, and all shares of common stock traded on the TASE are expected to transfer to the NYSE American once the delisting of Navidea’s common stock from the TASE becomes effective.
