COLUMBIA, Md., Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Renewable fuels provider New Generation Biofuels Holdings, Inc. (NasdaqCM: NGBF) ("NGBF" or the "Company") today announced that it learned the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel") will allow the Company's securities to remain listed pending the Company's demonstration that it has regained compliance with the $1 bid price requirement and that it is able to sustain long term compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market, including the stockholders' equity requirement.  In that regard, on September 15, 2010, the Panel rendered a determination regarding the Company's listing. The Panel's decision required, among other things, the Company to demonstrate on or before September 25, 2010, that its stockholders' equity was at least $2.5. million and, on or before December 20, 2010, that its closing bid price had been at least $1 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days, as well as that the Company met and could sustain compliance with all other applicable requirements, including the stockholders' equity requirement.  The Company filed a form 8-K on September 27, 2010, confirming stockholders' equity of at least $2.5 million as of that date.  While the Company is diligently taking steps to regain compliance in accordance with the Panel's decision, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to do so.  

As previously disclosed, on June 23, 2010, NASDAQ notified the Company that it did not comply with the minimum bid price and stockholders' equity requirements and that the Company's securities were subject to delisting unless the Company requested a hearing before a Panel.  The Company timely requested a hearing and appeared before the Panel on August 5, 2010.
