Item 3.01. Notice of
Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer
Listing.
On March 17, 2009, Isolagen,
Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from the NYSE Amex (the
“Exchange”) notifying the Company it is not in compliance with
Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Exchange’s Company Guide (the
“Company Guide”). Specifically, the Exchange staff noted that the
Company sustained losses which are so substantial in relation to its overall
operations or its existing financial sources that is appears questionable, in
the opinion of the Exchange, as to whether the Company will be able to continue
operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature. As previously disclosed,
the Company received a notice from the Exchange on March 12, 2008,
advising the Company that it was not in compliance with Sections 1003
(a)(i)-(iii) of the Company Guide. The Company’s plan to bring itself
back into compliance by September 14, 2009 in connection with the previous
notice was accepted by the Exchange in August 2008.
The Company currently intends to
submit a plan in response to the most recent notice by April 17, 2009
outlining its compliance strategy with the current continued listing deficiency
by September 14, 2009, subject to the Company successfully completing a
sufficient financing transaction or strategic partnership prior to
April 17, 2009. If the Company’s plan to regain compliance is
accepted by the Exchange, the Company may be able to continue its listing
during this period, during which time it will be subject to periodic review to
determine progress consistent with the plan. If the Company does not submit a
plan or if the plan is not accepted by the Exchange, the Company will be
subject to delisting procedures as set forth in the Company Guide. Under
Company Guide rules, the Company has the right to appeal the determination by
the Exchange staff to initiate delisting proceedings and to seek a hearing
before an Exchange Panel. The time and place of such a hearing will be
determined by the Panel. If the Panel does not grant the relief sought by the
Company, its securities could be delisted from the Exchange. There is no
assurance that the Exchange staff will accept the Company’s plan of
compliance or that, even if such plan is accepted, the Company will be able to
implement the plan within the prescribed timeframe.
In addition, the Exchange’s
notice states that the Company’s common stock has closed at between $0.15
and $0.87 per share over the last six months, and that the Staff is concerned
that, as a result of the low selling price, the Company’s common stock
may not be suitable for auction market trading. Pursuant to
Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide, the Exchange has notified the
Company that it deems it appropriate that the Company effect a reverse stock
split within a reasonable amount of time in view of the fact that the
Company’s common stock has been selling for a substantial period of time
at a low price per share.
The Company currently estimates that
its unrestricted, available cash resources will allow the Company to continue
in operation for approximately two weeks under its current operation plan. The
Company continues to pursue potential financing alternatives and potential
strategic partnership discussions. However, there can be no assurance that any
such potential financing alternative will be completed on terms acceptable to
the Company, or successfully completed at all. Further, there can be no
assurance that any potential strategic partnership discussions will be
completed on terms acceptable to the Company, or completed at all. If the
Company does not obtain additional funding, or anticipate additional funding in
the very near future, the Company may enter into bankruptcy, and
possibly cease operations. In addition, as previously disclosed, the Company
currently has a debt liability of approximately $89.7 million related to
its 3.5% subordinated notes, which could be called due, at the option of the
note holders, as early as November 2009. Interest on the notes is due
semiannually on May 1 and November 1.
2
Further, the Company is pursuing the
potential sale of its 57% ownership interest in Agera Laboratories, Inc. There
can be no assurance that a sale of this ownership interest will be completed on
terms acceptable to the Company, or successfully completed at all. .
The Company issued a press release
that discloses receipt of the Exchange notice discussed above and the fact that
it is not in compliance with certain listing standards. A copy of that press
release is attached as an exhibit to this report.
