Section 3 – Securities and Trading Markets
 
Item 3.01         Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
 
As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 7, 2010, on May 7, 2010, Capstone Therapeutics Corp., formerly OrthoLogic Corp. (“the Company”) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market notifying it that for the 30 consecutive business days preceding the date of the letter, the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum bid price required for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
 
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company had 180 calendar days from the date of the Nasdaq letter, or until November 3, 2010, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule.  To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.  Nasdaq may, in its discretion, require the Company to maintain a bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a period in excess of 10 consecutive business days, but generally no more than 20 consecutive business days, before determining that the Company has demonstrated an ability to maintain long-term compliance.  On November 11, 2010, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq, notifying the Company that it had not regained compliance by November 3, 2010 with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
 
Nasdaq has determined that as of November 11, 2010,  the Company meets the applicable requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rules, other than the minimum bid price, for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.  Accordingly, the Company has been afforded an additional period, ending May 2, 2011, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule.  The Company’s common stock will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market during this period.  If compliance is not regained, Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist the Company’s common stock, which decision may be appealed to a Nasdaq Hearing Panel.  The Company intends to take actions to attempt to regain compliance, which may include requesting shareholder approval for a reverse stock split.
