VirtualScopics Regains NASDAQ Compliance

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Sept. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- VirtualScopics, Inc. (NASDAQ:  VSCP), a leading provider of quantitative imaging, today announced that it has received notification from The NASDAQ Stock Market that it has regained compliance with the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement, and further, that it currently complies with all other applicable standards for continued listing.

To regain compliance with the bid price rule, the Company was required to evidence a closing bid price of $1.00 per share or more for a period of at least 10 consecutive trading days.  The Company effected a reverse stock split with a ratio of 1-for-10 on August 21, 2013.  On September 5, 2013, the closing price of the Company's common stock was $4.84 per share which marked the tenth consecutive day the stock price had a closing bid price above $1.00 per share.  Since the Company has achieved compliance with the bid price rule, there is no need for the Company to initiate the appeal process with NASDAQ.

VirtualScopics will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market and the previously disclosed delisting proceeding related to its bid price compliance is now closed.
