InspireMD Plan of Compliance Accepted by NYSE MKT
BOSTON, March 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- InspireMD, Inc. (NYSE MKT: NSPR) ("InspireMD" or the "Company"), a leader in embolic protection systems ("EPS"), announced today that the New York Stock Exchange has accepted InspireMD's plan to regain compliance with the NYSE MKT's market capitalization continued listing standards. As previously disclosed, the NYSE notified the Company on January 20, 2015 that it had fallen below the NYSE's continued listing standards.
Based upon a review of the compliance plan and information submitted by the Company, the Exchange determined that the Company made a reasonable demonstration of its ability to make substantial progress toward regaining compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide by July 20, 2016. The Exchange also determined that the Company has resolved the continued listing deficiency with respect to Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Company Guide.
The Company will be subject to periodic review by the exchange staff during the period covered by the plan. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the plan period could result in the Company's shares being delisted from the Exchange.
Alan Milinazzo, CEO of InspireMD stated, "The management team and the Board of Directors are pleased our compliance plan has been accepted by the Exchange. We will strategically move forward with the business initiatives discussed on our earnings call."
