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

 

On February 13, 2008, Lipid Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) received a Nasdaq Staff Deficiency Letter indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days the bid price of its common stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4).  In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(8)(D), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until August 11, 2008, from the date of notification to achieve compliance.  In general, a company can restore compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) if its common stock has a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.  If the Company has not achieved compliance by the 180th day, but can demonstrate as of that date that the Company meets the criteria for initial listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c) (other than the bid price requirement), the Company will have an additional 180 days to achieve compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4).  If the Company is not eligible for the additional compliance period, it may be delisted by Nasdaq at that time.

 

On February 15, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had received the letter from Nasdaq.  A copy of the Company’s press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
