Biopure gets Nasdaq letter

Biopure (Cambridge, Massachusetts) said that it received notice from Nasdaq that its closing bid price had fallen and remained below $1 for 30 consecutive business days. As a result, Biopure is out of compliance with Nasdaq's $1 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4).

The company, in accordance with Marketplace Rule 4310 (c)(8)(D), has 180 calendar days or until June 11, 2008, to regain compliance by having the bid price of its common stock close at $1.00 per share or more for at least 10 consecutive business days. If the company does not regain compliance by June 11, 2008, Nasdaq will determine whether the company meets the initial listing criteria set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310 (c), except for the bid price requirement.

Biopure makes pharmaceuticals, called oxygen therapeutics, that are intravenously administered to deliver oxygen to the body's tissues.
