Avalon (NASDAQ:AVRX)
Historical Stock Chart
From May 2019 to May 2024
Avalon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:AVRX), today announced that on
November 20, 2008 it received a Deficiency Notice from The NASDAQ Stock
Market, LLC notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with
NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(3) because the Company’s stockholders’
equity, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the period ended September 30, 2008, did not meet the minimum of $10
million required for continued listing on The NASDAQ Global Market. This
notification has no immediate effect on the NASDAQ listing or trading of
the Company’s common stock.
The NASDAQ staff is reviewing the Company’s eligibility for continued
listing on The NASDAQ Global Market and has asked the Company to provide
a specific plan to achieve and sustain compliance with all of the NASDAQ
Global Market listing requirements, including a time frame for
completion of the plan. The Company is in the process of preparing a
response to NASDAQ’s request for a plan.
In the event the Company receives notice that its common stock is being
delisted from The NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules
permit the Company to appeal the delisting to a NASDAQ Listing
Qualifications Panel. Alternatively, NASDAQ may permit the Company to
transfer its common stock to The NASDAQ Capital Market if it satisfies
the requirements for inclusion on that market.
