Transgenomic Inc. (OTCQB:TBIOD) today announced that it is advancing its previously announced plans for relisting on the NASDAQ Capital Market. After receiving shareholder approval, the company implemented a reverse split of its shares on June 13, 2017, in order to meet NASDAQ relisting requirements of a closing share price at or above $4.00 for five consecutive trading days. Other relisting requirements involve shareholder equity. Upon the completion of the merger between Transgenomic and Precipio Diagnostics, which is expected to occur in the next few days, the companies believe that the combined entity will satisfy the NASDAQ relisting requirements.

Paul Kinnon, President and CEO of Transgenomic, said, “The management teams of the two merger partners have been working diligently together with NASDAQ representatives with the goal of immediate relisting upon the closing.”

Ilan Danieli, CEO of Precipio, said, “We view relisting on NASDAQ as an essential step in our strategy to leverage the complementary strengths of our combined companies to achieve sustained and substantial growth. We believe that the post-merger company, which will be known as Precipio, will be well-positioned to build a leadership position in the rapidly expanding new global markets for liquid biopsy and precision medicine.”
