Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

As previously reported, on December 15, 2011, Aetrium Incorporated received a notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that we no longer comply with the requirements for continued listing because of failure to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and we were provided an initial period of 180 calendar days (until June 12, 2012) to regain compliance. On June 13, 2012, we received notice from Nasdaq approving our application to transfer our listing to the Nasdaq Capital Market and granting us an additional 180 days to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement. We plan to effect a reverse stock split, if necessary and approved by our stockholders, to cure the bid price deficiency during this second 180-day compliance period.
