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

As previously reported on the Form 8-K filed by Cynosure, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 29, 2010 (the “Prior 8-K”), George J. Vojta, a Class B member of the Board of Directors of the Company, died on December 22, 2010. Mr. Vojta was Chairman of the Company’s Audit Committee and an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Chairman of the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and a member of the Company’s Compensation Committee.

As reported on the Prior 8-K, the Company notified The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on December 29, 2010 that, as a result of Mr. Vojta’s death, the Company was no longer in compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(b)(1), because a majority of the Board is no longer comprised of independent directors, and Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), because the Audit Committee no longer has at least three members and has no member whom the Board has determined meets the financial sophistication requirements set out in Rule 5605(c)(2)(A). The Company also notified Nasdaq that the Company intends to rely on the cure provisions of Rules 5605(b)(1)(A) and 5605(c)(4)(B), which each provide that the Company has until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders meeting or one year from Mr. Vojta’s death to comply with the above-referenced listing requirements; provided, however, that if the Company’s next annual shareholders meeting occurs no later than June 20, 2011, the Company shall instead have until June 20, 2011 to regain compliance.

On December 30, 2010, the Company received notice from Nasdaq acknowledging that the Company was not in compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rules 5605(b)(1) and 5605(c)(2)(A) and confirming the cure provisions described above.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board plans promptly to conduct a search to identify a suitable candidate for the Board and Audit Committee.

The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update this report for purposes of disclosing any action or response that the Company decides to take after the date hereof.
