Oxygen Biotherapeutics Receives Favorable NASDAQ Listing Decision
MORRISVILLE, N.C. May 16, 2013 -- Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: OXBT), today announced that the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) has granted the Company’s request for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market pursuant to an extension through June 3, 2013 to evidence compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement and through July 31, 2013 to evidence compliance with the minimum $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market.
The determination follows the Company’s hearing before the Panel on May 2, 2013, at which the Panel considered the Company’s plan to regain and sustain compliance with the minimum bid price and stockholders’ equity requirements. The Company is working to timely evidence compliance with the terms of the Panel’s decision; however, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so.
“The panel’s decision is great news for shareholders. We are quite pleased with the panel’s decision and appreciate their confidence in our ability to meet and maintain compliance with NASDAQ’s requirements,” said Michael B. Jebsen, Interim CEO and CFO of Oxygen Biotherapeutics.
