Item 8.01      Other Events.

On August 3, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.8125 per share on its 6.5% convertible exchangeable preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) in accordance with the terms thereof.

In February 2005, Acusphere issued 900,000 shares of its Preferred Stock in a public offering.  As of August 3, 2007, 690,000 of these shares of Preferred Stock remained outstanding.  The dividend on the Preferred Stock will be paid on September 1, 2007 to the holders of record as of the close of business on August 15, 2007.

In accordance with the terms of the Preferred Stock, this dividend payment was computed by dividing the annual dividend rate of $3.25 per share by four (rounded down to the nearest one one-hundredth (1/100) of one cent).
