Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously disclosed, on April 30, 2009, VirnetX Holding Corporation (the “Company”) received a letter from the NYSE Amex LLC (the “Exchange”) stating that, based on the Exchange’s review of publicly available information, the Company was considered to be below the Exchange’s continued listing standards due to the fact that it does not satisfy the stockholders’ equity requirements, as set forth in Sections 1003(a)(i) and 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE Amex Company Guide, and given the Company’s current financial condition, which the Exchange cited in accordance with Section 1003(a)(iv). The Company was afforded the opportunity to submit a plan of compliance to the Exchange and, on June 1, 2009, submitted such a plan.

On July 16, 2009, the Exchange notified the Company that it had accepted the Company’s previously submitted plan of compliance and, pursuant to the plan, has granted the Company an extension to regain compliance with the Exchange’s continued listing standards. In addition to approving the plan, the Exchange determined that the Company is not currently subject to the stockholders’ equity requirements, given its compliance with certain alternative listing standards relating, among other things, to the Company’s current market capitalization. Nonetheless, the Exchange continues to believe that it would be necessary and appropriate for the Company to take certain actions to strengthen its financial condition. As a result, the Exchange has granted the company an extension until October 30, 2009 to regain compliance with the financial condition continued listing standard.

The Company will be subject to periodic reviews by the Exchange during the extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the extension period could result in the Company being delisted from the Exchange.

On July 23, 2009 the Company issued a press release announcing that it had been notified by the Exchange that the Exchange accepted the Company’s previously submitted plan of compliance and, pursuant to such plan, and has granted the company an extension to regain compliance with the Exchange’s continued listing standards.
