Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On November 30, 2011, Marina Biotech, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel has granted the Company’s request to remain listed on The NASDAQ Global Market and will allow the Company until January 31, 2012 to establish a closing bid price of its common stock of $1.00 or more per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, in compliance with the listing criteria per NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1).
The Company announced on September 28, 2011 that it had received a Deficiency Notice from NASDAQ notifying the Company that it had not regained compliance with Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1) on or before September 21, 2011, which would have been necessary to cure the bid price deficiency of which the Company originally received notice on March 25, 2011. The Company presented its plan to regain compliance to the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel on October 27, 2011. Based on the plan the Company presented and its continued execution of that plan, the Panel found that it was appropriate to allow the Company to remain listed on The NASDAQ Global Market while it works to achieve compliance.
A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
