Failure to Satisfy Listing Rule Form 8 K

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

As previously reported by Viracta Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 31, 2024, the Company received a notification letter, dated May 28, 2024, from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq"), indicating that, based on the previous 30 consecutive business days, the Company's listed shares no longer met the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement for the continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company had a period of 180 calendar days from May 28, 2024, or until November 25, 2024 ("Compliance Date"), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

As also previously disclosed by the Company on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 22, 2024, the Company received a notification letter from the Staff on November 21, 2024, stating that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders' equity for continued listing (the "Stockholders' Equity Requirement").

On November 26, 2024, the Staff issued a delist determination to the Company (the "Delisting Notice"), indicating that the Company did not satisfy the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the Compliance Date. The Delisting Notice indicated that the Company was not eligible for a second 180-day extension because it did not comply with the Stockholders' Equity Requirement. The Company intends to request a hearing (the "Hearing") before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel") to appeal (the "Appeal") the determination by the Staff, and to present its plan to regain and sustain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the Stockholders' Equity Requirement.

The Appeal will stay any delisting or suspension action of the Company's listed shares contemplated by the Delisting Notice. The Panel can grant the Company a period not to exceed 180 calendar days from November 26, 2024, to regain compliance.

There is no guarantee that the Panel will grant an extension of the compliance period or that the outcome of the Hearing or the Appeal will be favorable to the Company.
