Familymeds To Be Delisted From The NASDAQ Capital Market

 
Farmington, CT, January 17, 2007 - Familymeds Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: FMRX) announced today that the Company has been advised by The NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") that a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel has determined to delist the Company's securities from The NASDAQ Capital Market effective with the opening of business on Thursday, January 18, 2007.
 
As previously reported, on October 6, 2006, Familymeds received a NASDAQ Staff Determination Letter, indicating that the Company has failed to comply with the minimum $35,000,000 market value of listed securities requirement for continued listing as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(B)(ii), and that its securities are, therefore, subject to delisting from The NASDAQ Capital Market. The Company appeared before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel to review the above Nasdaq Staff determination.
 
Familymeds has been advised that its common stock will be immediately eligible for quotation on the Pink Sheets, an electronic quotation service for securities traded over-the-counter. Familymeds common stock may also be quoted in the future on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) maintained by the NASD. In that regard, the Company has been advised that a market maker has filed an application to quote the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB; however, there can be no assurance that they will be cleared.
