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


On April 3, 2012, Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by The NASDAQ OMX Group (“NASDAQ”) of the determination by the NASDAQ Hearings Panel to delist the Company’s common stock from The NASDAQ Stock Market, and that trading in the Company’s common stock will be discontinued effective at the open of trading on Thursday, April 5, 2012.
 
 
Effective Thursday, April 5, 2012, the Company’s common stock will begin trading on the OTCQB tier of OTC Markets. The OTCQB is a market tier for OTC-traded companies that are registered and current in their reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company shares of common stock will continue to trade under the symbol PBIO.  The OTCQB is operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc.

As previously reported, the NASDAQ Hearings Panel required the Company to evidence compliance with the applicable $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement and the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement to maintain its NASDAQ listing.  As the Company was unable to do so, the NASDAQ Hearings Panel determined to delist the Company’s common stock from The NASDAQ Stock Market.
