Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. Immunomedics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), received a letter on June 10, 2005, from the Nasdaq listing qualifications staff (the "Staff") stating that the Company had not provided a definitive plan evidencing its ability to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Maketplace shareholder approval rule (Rule 4350(i)(1)(D)(ii) (the "Rule")) in its private placement of notes and warrants that closed on April 29, 2005 (the "Financing"). The Company intends, among other things, to appeal the Staff determination, which will have the effect of temporarily suspending the delisting. On May 19, 2005, the Company received a notice from the Staff that advised the Company that the Staff believed the private placement violated the Rule. On June 3, 2005, the Company submitted to the Staff a plan and timetable in an effort to regain compliance with the Rule, which plan and timetable was supplemented and amended by letter from the Company to the Staff dated June 9, 2005. In the response set forth in its June 10 letter, the Staff notified the Company that it believed the Company's plan and timetable, as supplemented and amended, would not achieve compliance with the Rule and that the Staff had therefore determined to delist the Company from The Nasdaq National Market. The Company has used, and continues to use, all possible efforts to address the Staff's concerns. In order to temporarily suspend the delisting otherwise scheduled to be effective by June 21, 2005, the Company must file the appeal on or before June 17, 2005, which the Company intends to do. While the Company's appeal is pending, the Company plans to (1) continue to explore the possibility of amending the terms of the notes and the warrants, in an attempt to regain compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace rules; (2) continue to pursue its application to list its common stock on the American Stock Exchange and (3) call a special meeting of its stockholders to request a 40 million share increase to its authorized common stock, in part as required by the terms of the notes and warrants, and to seek stockholder approval of the issuance of shares of common stock in accordance with the Financing. Each of these plans were described in more detail in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 25, 2005. As noted in the May 25, 2005 8-K: o Forty million shares will permit conversions of notes and exercises of warrants (including those subject to the investors' option to purchase up to an additional 20% of the amount of notes and warrants issued in the Financing) and additional shares of common stock for general corporate purposes. o No assurance can be given that any effort to amend the terms of the notes and warrants will be successful or will satisfy the Staff regarding its delisting determination or allow the Company to succeed in its appeal of the Staff determination. o No assurance can be given with respect to the success or timing of the American Stock Exchange listing application. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company's appeal of the Nasdaq Staff's decision will be successful, or as to the potential timing of the actual delisting of the Company's securities (including whether or not it may not occur before the special stockholder meeting, any amendment of the terms of the notes and warrants, or any listing of its common stock on the AMEX). If the Company is unable to successfully amend the terms of the notes and warrants, and obtain the requisite approval from stockholders, it is unlikely that the Nasdaq will permit the continued listing of the Company's stock, and even if the Company is successful in both those regards, it may not be able to retain its listing on the Nasdaq National Market.

(c) Exhibits: 99.1 - Press Release, dated June 14, 2005 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized. Date: June 14, 2005 IMMUNOMEDICS, INC. By: /s/ Cynthia L. Sullivan ------------------------------------- Cynthia L. Sullivan President and Chief Executive Officer EX-99.1 2 im712510-ex99_1.txt PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99.1 IMMUNOMEDICS TO APPEAL NASDAQ RULING AND FILES PRELIMINARY PROXY MATERIAL FOR STOCKHOLDER MEETING Morris Plains, NJ, June 14, 2005. Immunomedics, Inc. (Nasdaq:IMMU) today announced that it plans to appeal a Nasdaq staff ruling that the Company violated Nasdaq Maketplace shareholder approval rules in connection with its financing that closed on April 29, 2005. The Company plans to file a notice of the appeal on or before June 17, 2005, in order to temporarily prevent a delisting. In the meantime, the Company will continue to explore the possibility of amending the terms of the notes and the warrants issued in the April financing, in an effort to regain compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace rules. The Company is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission a preliminary proxy statement regarding a special meeting of its stockholders that it will convene to seek approval of the additional authorized shares needed for the recent financing, as well as approval of the issuance of shares of common stock in accordance with the April financing. The Company also will continue to explore possible amendments to the terms of the notes and warrants and will continue to pursue the application to transfer listing of its common stock to the AMEX, which it filed on June 3, 2005. No assurance can be given that any effort to amend the terms of the April 29 financing will be successful or will satisfy the Staff regarding its delisting determination or allow the Company to succeed in its appeal, or with respect to the timing or success of our American Stock Exchange listing application. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company's appeal of the Nasdaq Staff's decision will be successful, or as to the potential timing of the actual delisting of the Company's securities (including whether or not it may occur before the special meeting of stockholders, any amendment of the terms of the notes and warrants, or any listing on the AMEX.) If the Company is unable to successfully amend the terms of the notes and warrants and obtain the requisite approval from stockholders, it is unlikely that the Nasdaq will permit the continued listing of the Company's common stock, and even if the Company is successful in both those regards, it may not be able to retain its listing on The Nasdaq National Market. Immunomedics is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of monoclonal, antibody-based products for the targeted treatment of cancer, autoimmune and other serious diseases. We have developed a number of advanced proprietary technologies that allow us to create humanized antibodies that can be used either alone in unlabeled or "naked" form, or conjugated with radioactive isotopes, chemotherapeutics or toxins, in each case to create highly targeted agents. Using these technologies, we have built a pipeline of therapeutic product candidates that utilize several different mechanisms of action. We are currently preparing to enter our lead product candidate, epratuzumab, into two pivotal Phase III trials for the treatment of patients with moderate and severe lupus. At present, there is no cure for lupus and no new lupus treatment drug has been approved in the U.S. in the last 40 years. We believe that our portfolio of intellectual property, which includes approximately 90 patents issued in the United States, and more than 250 other issued patents worldwide, protects our product candidates and technologies.
