Item
3.01 Notice of Delisting
or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard;Transfer of
Listing.
On April
1, 2010, Senesco Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from the
NYSE Amex LLC (“NYSE”) providing notification that, the Company does not meet
one of the NYSE’s continued listing standards as set forth in Part 10 of the
NYSE company guide and the Company has therefore become subject to the
procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the NYSE company
guide. Specifically, the Company is not in compliance with Section
704 of the NYSE company guide in that it failed to hold its annual meeting of
stockholders during the year ended December 31, 2009.
To maintain an NYSE listing, the
Company must submit a plan by April 15, 2010 advising the NYSE of action it has
taken, or will take that would bring the Company into compliance with the
continued listing standards by July 1, 2010. We are taking steps to prepare and
submit such a plan to the NYSE on or before April 15, 2010.
The Listings Qualifications Department
of the NYSE will evaluate the Company’s plan and determine whether it reasonably
demonstrates the Company’s ability to regain compliance with the continued
listing standards by July 1, 2010. If the NYSE accepts the Company’s plan, the
Company may be able to continue its listing during the plan period provided that
the Company demonstrates progress consistent with its plan and complies with
other applicable NYSE listing qualifications. If the Company fails to submit a
satisfactory plan or fails to demonstrate progress consistent with the plan
accepted by the NYSE, the NYSE may initiate delisting procedures. During the
plan period the Company will be subject to periodic review to determine whether
the Company is making progress consistent with the plan.
