FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Urologix Announces Grant of 180-Day Extension

to Regain Compliance with Minimum Bid Price Requirement

 

 

MINNEAPOLIS -- Feb. 16, 2011 -- Urologix, Inc. (Nasdaq: ULGX), the manufacturer and marketer of minimally invasive Cooled ThermoTherapy™ (CTT), the durable and effective in-office treatment for patients suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) announced today that it received a letter, dated February 16, 2011, from The Nasdaq Stock Market notifying Urologix that its request had been granted for an additional 180 calendar day cure period, until August 15, 2011, to regain compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

 

The Nasdaq letter states that, pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), Urologix is eligible for this additional compliance period because it meets all other Nasdaq Capital Market initial listing criteria set forth in Listing Rule 5505.  Previously, on August 19, 2010, Urologix was notified by Nasdaq that it did not meet the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing and was provided until February 15, 2011 to achieve compliance.

 

The Company may achieve compliance during the additional 180-day period if the closing bid price of the company's common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days before August 15, 2011. This notification has no immediate effect on the Company's listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market nor on the trading of the Company's common stock.
