## **Item 8.01 Other Events.** 
As previously disclosed, Aptevo Therapeutics Inc. (the "Company") received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the "Rule"), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders' equity for continued listing on Nasdaq. On July 1, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Staff confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the Rule. The Company's compliance was evidenced by its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 30, 2025, which reported that, during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $15.9 million of additional equity capital and, as a result, believes it has stockholders' equity of at least $2.5 million and is in compliance with the Rule.
