Vista Medical Maintains Nasdaq Listing
Trading Symbol to Change Back to 'VMTI'
CARLSBAD, Calif., June 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Vista Medical Technologies,
Inc., (NASDAQ:VMTIC), announced today that, following its recently completed
common stock and warrant financing, it has satisfied Nasdaq's minimum $2.5
million shareholders' equity requirement for continued listing set forth in
Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(B). As a result, Vista Medical continues to meet
the requirements of Nasdaq for continued listing in the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
Effective at the opening of business on Wednesday, June 9, 2004, the Company's
Common Stock will trade once again under the symbol "VMTI" instead of under the
current conditional listing symbol "VMTIC."
On May 26, 2004, Vista Medical completed a common stock and warrant financing,
providing the Company with $4.1 million in net proceeds from accredited
individual investors and institutions.
On May 7, 2004, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel granted the Company a
conditional listing exception from such shareholders' equity requirement,
subject to certain conditions. The Company was required to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and Nasdaq, on or before May 31, 2004, a
disclosure that the Company raised a minimum of $3.6 million in additional
equity, net of expenses, as well as a description of the completed transaction
that enabled the Company to satisfy the $2.5 million shareholders' equity
requirement. The Company made this filing on Form 8-K. The Panel will
continue to monitor the Company's ongoing compliance with the minimum
shareholders' equity threshold until the Company shall have evidenced
compliance with that requirement via a publicly filed balance sheet and
demonstrated an ability to sustain compliance with the minimum shareholders'
equity requirement over the long term. To demonstrate compliance, the Company
must file forms 10Q for the quarters ending June 30, 2004 and September 30,
2004 with the SEC and Nasdaq evidencing continued compliance with the $2.5
million shareholders' equity requirement.
