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

On December 31, 2013 Cardium Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) determined to voluntarily transfer the listing of the Company’s common stock from the NYSE MKT to the OTC Markets. The transfer of the listing is being undertaken as part of the Company’s restructuring and cost containment efforts designed to enable a strategic focus on advancement of its key biological products. The OTC Markets offer an alternative regulated quotation service that provides electronic quotes, sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter equity securities. The Company’s common stock traded on the OTC Markets prior to its election to list its shares on the American Stock Exchange, now NYSE MKT. Since stocks on the OTC Markets trade using a 4-letter symbol, the Company’s ticker symbol will be adjusted in connection with the new listing, which will be reported shortly. Shareholders will not be required to exchange any shares and the Company expects electronic trading to be available without any material disruption.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On December 31, 2013, the Company issued a press release reporting on advancements of Generx and Excellagen Biologic Products and corporate developments including electing to move its common stock listing to the OTC exchange. The full text of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
