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

On May 13, 2016, StemCells, Inc. (the "Company") received an appealable notice of delisting from the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") for failure to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which generally requires that the Company maintain a minimum bid price for its listed common stock of at least $1.00 per share. The Company may appeal this decision on or before May 24, 2016. However, the Company anticipates regaining compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) tomorrow, on May 20, 2016, provided the Company’s common stock continues to trade above $1.00 per share, as it has done since May 9, 2016, when the Company effected its previously announced 12 for 1 reverse stock split.

The closing bid price for the Company’s common stock on May 19, 2016 was $2.67.
