PR Newswire (US)
ATLANTA, May 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Corautus Genetics Inc.
(NASDAQ:VEGF), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated
to the development of new and innovative gene therapy products for
the treatment of cardiovascular (severe angina) and peripheral
vascular disease, announced today that on May 25, 2006, it received
a deficiency letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that it
is not in compliance with the continued listing requirements on the
NASDAQ Capital Market because for the previous 30 consecutive
business days the bid price of its common stock had closed below
the $1.00 minimum per share requirement for continued listing as
set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4). It is NASDAQ's customary
practice to issue a deficiency letter when a listed company does
not meet the minimum bid price requirement. By NASDAQ rule,
Corautus will be provided 180 calendar days, or until November 21,
2006, to regain compliance with the bid price requirement. The
deficiency letter has no effect on the listing of Corautus common
stock at this time, and its common stock will continue to trade on
the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol "VEGF." The letter also
stated that Corautus can regain compliance with the bid price
requirement if at any time before November 21, 2006, the bid price
of its common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a
minimum of ten consecutive business days. If Corautus cannot
demonstrate compliance by November 21, 2006, NASDAQ will determine
whether it meets the NASDAQ Capital Market initial listing criteria
set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c), except for the bid price
requirement. If Corautus meets the initial listing criteria, it
will be provided an additional 180 calendar-day period to comply
with the bid price requirement. If it is not eligible for this
additional compliance period, Corautus will be provided written
notice that its securities will be delisted. At that time, Corautus
would have the right to appeal NASDAQ's determination to delist its
securities to a listing qualifications panel, which would stay the
effect of the delisting pending a hearing on the matter before the
panel. About Corautus Genetics Corautus Genetics is a
