| Item 3.01. | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On May 14, 2008, the American Stock Exchange (“Amex”) notified Pro-Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) that the Company does not meet a continued listing standard because the Company has less than $4 million in stockholders’ equity and has sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years, as set forth in Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Amex Company Guide. The Company intends to file by June 13, 2008 a revised plan with the Amex to regain compliance with this standard.
The Company filed its original plan following an Amex notice in June 2007 that the Company did not meet a minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $2,000,000. The Amex in September 2007 accepted the Company’s initial plan and granted an extension until October 13, 2008 to regain compliance with the continued listing standards, subject to periodic review by Amex during the extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance by the end of the extension period could result in the Company being de-listed from the Amex.
The audit report on the financial statements of the Company contains a going concern qualification in its Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2007.
