As previously reported, on March 27, 2023, Codiak BioSciences, Inc. (the "Company") filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Filing"), thereby commencing a Chapter 11 case for the Company (Case No. 23-10350).

On March 27, 2023, the Company received notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that, after a review of publicly available information related to the Filing and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5101, 5110(b) and IM-5101-1, the Staff has determined that the Company's securities will be delisted from Nasdaq. Trading of the Company's common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on April 5, 2023, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company's securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq. Nasdaq's determination is based on the Filing and associated public interest concerns raised by it; concerns regarding the residual equity interest of the existing listed securities holders; and concerns about the Company's ability to sustain compliance with all requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq.

The Company may appeal Nasdaq's determination, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series, for a fee of $20,000, no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 3, 2023. However, even if the Company were to appeal Nasdaq's determination, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq would grant the Company's request for continued listing.
