Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
Nasdaq has notified Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated that the Company is not in compliance with continuous listing standards for inclusion on the Nasdaq Global Market because (i) pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5), the Company’s price per share for its Common Stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for 30 consecutive business days, and (ii) pursuant to Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(3), the Company’s stockholders’ equity reported on its Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2006 did not comply with the minimum $10 million requirement.
The Nasdaq notifications were provided in two letters dated November 10, 2006. On November 16, 2006 the Nasdaq staff determined pursuant to Marketplace Rule 4814(b) to adjust the period of time required for Corcept to disclose the receipt of the two letters to no later than the close of business on November 22, 2006.
Pursuant to Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(2), the company has a 180 day grace period to rega
