As previously disclosed by BG Medicine, Inc. (the “Company”) on Form 8-K filed on September 15, 2015, the NASDAQ Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notified the Company that it was suspending the trading of the Company’s common stock effective at the opening of business on September 16, 2015, which it did. Upon suspension of trading on Nasdaq, the Company’s common stock transitioned to the OTCQB tier of the over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets, where the common stock trades under the symbol “BGMD.” At the time of the suspension, Nasdaq further indicated that it would complete the formal delisting action by filing a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) after applicable appeal periods lapsed.
As anticipated, on November 23, 2015, Nasdaq issued a public notice that it would file the Form 25-NSE with the SEC on November 24, 2015 to complete the removal of the Company’s common stock from formal listing and registration on Nasdaq. The delisting becomes effective ten calendar days after the Form 25-NSE is filed by Nasdaq. The Company’s common stock was delisted from Nasdaq as a result of the Company’s failure to meet the continued listing standards set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b).
