THERMOGENESIS RECEIVES NOTICE RELATED TO
NASDAQ MINIMUM CLOSING BID PRICE RULE

RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (September 21, 2009)—ThermoGenesis Corp. (NASDAQ: KOOL), a leading supplier of innovative products for processing and storing adult stem cells, said today it had received a letter dated September 16, 2009, indicating the Company had become non-compliant with the Nasdaq Capital Markets’ minimum bid pricing requirement under rule 5550(a)(2) as the Company’s closing bid price for the past 30 days had failed to meet the minimum bid of $1.00 per share.

In accordance with Nasdaq listing rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a compliance period of 180 days, or until March 15, 2010, to regain compliance by having a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. If this compliance is not met within the 180-day period, ThermoGenesis will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting. The Company may appeal the delisting determination to Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Panel and may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period if it meets the Nasdaq Capital Market listing standards, other than the minimum closing bid price requirement.
