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

 

On August 6, 2008, Lipid Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market Inc. stating that the Company’s common stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market as of the opening of business on August 15, 2008 because the Company does not comply with the minimum $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity, $35 million market capitalization, or $500,000 net income requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3).  The Company has the right to appeal the Nasdaq Staff determination to a Nasdaq Listings Qualifications Panel.  The Company intends to request a hearing before August 13, 2008 which will automatically stay the delisting of the Company’s common stock until the Panel reaches a decision.  There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing.

 

On August 11, 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.

 

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
