Item 3.01.    Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard;
Transfer of Listing.
 
On March 6, 2012, Columbia Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that for 30 consecutive business days the Company's common stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 (“Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) per share as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
 
The notification of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market.  Under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, if during the 180 calendar days following the date of the notification, or prior to September 4, 2012, the closing bid price of the Company's stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the common stock will continue to be eligible for listing on the NASDAQ Global Market.
 
If the Company does not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by September 4, 2012, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that the common stock is subject to delisting.  The Company may, at that time, appeal the Nasdaq determination to a Nasdaq Hearing Panel. Such an appeal, if granted, would stay delisting until a Panel ruling. Alternatively, if at that time the Company is in compliance with all initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market other than the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the Company could apply to transfer the listing of its common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market and thereby receive an additional grace period to gain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
 
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

On March 6, 2012, the Company issued a press release entitled “Columbia Laboratories Receives Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Non-compliance Letter.” A copy of the please release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
