EMERYVILLE, Calif., Sept. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Neurobiological Technologies, Inc., today announced that it received a staff determination letter on September 28, 2007 from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that the Company fails to comply with the market value of listed securities requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market, as set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3)(B) and therefore that its securities are subject to potential delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Company has requested a hearing to appeal the Staff Determination. Delisting actions have been stayed pending the completion of the appeal, which is expected to be heard in 3 to 6 weeks. There can be no assurance that the hearing panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing.
The Company anticipates that it will regain compliance with this listing requirement if it is able to complete its planned public offering of up to $65 million of common stock, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on August 13, 2007. This offering is expected to close in October 2007.
