Exhibit 99.1
News release via Canada NewsWire, Toronto 416-863-9350
Attention Business Editors:
Delisting Notification Received from the American Stock Exchange
Company to evaluate appeal options
TORONTO, May 30 /CNW/ - Predictive medicine company PreMD Inc. (TSX: PMD;
Amex: PME) today announced it has been notified by the American Stock Exchange
(the "AMEX") that it will not continue to support PreMD's plan for regaining
compliance with the continued listing standards and that it intends to delist
the Company's common stock from the Exchange by filing a delisting application
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to Section
1009(d) of the AMEX Company Guide (the "Company Guide"). The determination by
the staff of the AMEX to initiate the delisting of the common stock from the
AMEX is based on the Company's failure to meet several of the Exchange's
conditions for continued listing.
Presently, the Company continues to be noncompliant with Sections
1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii), and 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide, all of which
relate to the Company's insufficient stockholder's equity as previously
reported in the Company's filings with the SEC. The AMEX also cites
deficiencies regarding the Company's ongoing losses and low share price as
additional reasons for the staff's determination. The Company is currently
evaluating its options in dealing with the AMEX and will provide updates as
they become available. It is management's view that PreMD's delisting on the
AMEX does not affect its current listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the
"TSX").
