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

On September 23, 2024, Outset Medical, Inc. (the "Company") received notice (the "Notice") from the Listing Qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that, because the closing bid price for the Company's common stock had fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company no longer complies with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until March 24, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days prior to March 24, 2025.

If the Company does not regain compliance by March 24, 2025, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period if it applies to transfer the listing of its common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of its publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and provide written notice of its intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. As part of its review process, Nasdaq will make a determination as to whether it believes the Company will be able to cure this deficiency. If Nasdaq staff determines that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible for such additional compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company's common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would have the right to appeal any determination to delist its common stock, and the common stock would remain listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market until the appeal process is complete.

While the Company is exercising, and expects to continue to exercise, diligent efforts to maintain the listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other applicable Nasdaq listing rules.
