BioPharmX Receives Notice of Compliance Deadline Extension from NYSE American

SAN JOSE, Calif., /PRNewswire/ -- BioPharmX Corporation (NYSE American: BPMX) (the "Company"), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative medical dermatology products, received a notice on February 25, 2019 from the NYSE American LLC (the "NYSE American") that granted the Company an extension from February 27, 2019 to April 30, 2019 to regain compliance with certain NYSE American continued listing standards related to the low price per share of the Company's common stock.

On August 27, 2018, the Company initially received a deficiency letter from NYSE American stating that the Company was not in compliance with the continued listing standards as set forth in Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide because the Company's common stock had been selling for a low price per share for a substantial period of time. The NYSE American staff determined that the Company's continued listing is predicated on it effecting a reverse stock split of its common stock or otherwise demonstrating sustained price improvement within a reasonable period of time.

The Company's common stock will continue to be listed and traded on NYSE American during the extended cure period, subject to the Company's compliance with NYSE American's other applicable continued listing standards. The letter does not affect the Company's business operations or its Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements.
