Also Defers License Milestone Payment
BRIDGEWATER, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CorMedix Inc. ("CorMedix") (NYSE MKT: CRMD), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic products for the prevention and treatment of cardiorenal disease, received a notice from the NYSE MKT on April 5, 2013 indicating that it is below listing standard criteria. In its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. CorMedix reported stockholders' equity of less than $2 million and did not meet certain of the NYSE MKT continued listing standards as set forth in the NYSE MKT Company Guide.
Under NYSE MKT regulations, CorMedix must submit a plan of compliance no later than May 6, 2013 to address how it intends to regain compliance by October 20, 2013. If that plan is accepted by NYSE MKT, CorMedix may be able to continue its listing during the 1003(a)(i) Plan Period, during which time CorMedix will be subject to periodic review to determine whether it is making progress consistent with the plan.
CorMedix received notice on April 20, 2012 from the NYSE MKT informing it that CorMedix was below certain of the NYSE MKT's continued listing standards due to financial impairment. CorMedix was afforded the opportunity to submit a plan to the NYSE MKT to regain compliance and, on May 17, 2012, presented its plan to the NYSE MKT. On June 27, 2012, the NYSE MKT accepted CorMedix's plan and granted it an extension until August 22, 2012 to regain compliance with the continued listing standards. On September 21, 2012, the NYSE MKT notified CorMedix that it granted CorMedix another extension to January 31, 2013 and on February 1, 2013, NYSE MKT notified that CorMedix was further granted extension until April 15, 2013 to regain compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE MKT.
If CorMedix is not in compliance with all of the NYSE MKT's continued listing standards within the timeframes provided, or does not make progress consistent with the prior plan or the new plan to be submitted to the NYSE MKT during the respective plan period, the NYSE MKT will initiate delisting proceedings.
"As we await the final review of a CE Mark for our lead product Neutrolin®, we are working diligently to address this deficiency and manage our cash flow," said Randy Milby, CEO of CorMedix. "We anticipate compliance with the NYSE MKT listing standards from additional financing we will seek after the anticipated receipt of the CE Mark. In addition, ND Partners, a large shareholder and part of the Bollard Group, the grantors of our worldwide patent estate, has agreed to allow us to defer the major milestone payment due upon receipt of the CE Mark for up to one year in order for us to prioritize resources for the planned launch of Neutrolin®."
