Item 3.01       Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

 

As Cellegy Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Cellegy”) previously disclosed in its recently filed annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (the “2004 Form 10-K”), and in certain other previous filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the continued listing of Cellegy’s common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market depends on the ability to satisfy one or more of Nasdaq’s continued listing criteria, and if the aggregate market value of the common stock was below $50,000,000 for a sustained period of time, the common stock would be subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Stock Market.

 

Cellegy received a letter (the “Letter”) dated July 8, 2005, from The Nasdaq Stock Market notifying Cellegy that for ten consecutive trading days prior to the date of the Letter, the market value of the common stock had been below the minimum price that would result in an aggregate market value of the common stock of at least $50,000,000 as required for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq National Market by Marketplace Rule 4450(b)(1)(A).  Cellegy has until August 8, 2005 to regain compliance.  If, at any time before August 8, 2005, the aggregate market value of Cellegy’s common stock is $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Nasdaq staff will determine if Cellegy complies with Marketplace Rule 4450(b)(1)(A).  Based upon 29,782,726 shares outstanding on July 6, 2005, Cellegy’s stock price would have to equal or exceed approximately $1.68 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.

 

If Cellegy does not regain compliance with the Nasdaq National Market continued listing requirements, Cellegy may appeal to a Listing Qualification Panel or transfer to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, so long as Cellegy complies with the Nasdaq SmallCap Market’s continued listing requirements, which require, among other things, (i) that Cellegy’s stock price equals or exceeds $1.00 and (ii) that either the aggregate market value of Cellegy’s common stock exceeds $35 million or Cellegy’s stockholder equity exceeds $2.5 million.  Cellegy’s common stock would remain listed on the Nasdaq National Market during the pendency of its appeal to the Listing Qualifications Panel or review of a listing application for the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.  Cellegy cannot estimate with certainty how long this process would take or the eventual outcome.  Cellegy currently believes that it would be able to satisfy the requirements for listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, although there can be no assurances that this will be the case.  If the common stock is not eligible for listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, Cellegy expects that its common stock will be eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.  In addition, if the common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq National Market, then in order to have the common stock become again listed on the Nasdaq National Market, Cellegy would have to satisfy the requirements for initial listing, which are higher than the requirements for continued listing.  Delisting from the Nasdaq National Market could reduce the liquidity of Cellegy’s common stock, cause certain investors not to trade in Cellegy’s common stock, and result in a lower stock price.  Delisting also could make it more difficult for Cellegy to raise required funds through equity financing transactions and could otherwise have an adverse impact on Cellegy’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

In the Letter, Nasdaq also notified Cellegy that it did not currently satisfy an alternate standard for continued listing under Marketplace Rule 4450(b)(1)(B), which requires total assets and total revenue of $50,000,000 each for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years.
