ITEM 3.01. NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING.

On June 27, 2012, NeurogesX, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) that trading in the Company’s securities will be suspended on NASDAQ effective with the open of trading on Friday, June 29, 2012. On that same date, the Company’s common stock will be eligible to trade on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (or OTCBB), a market tier for OTC-traded companies that are registered and current in their reporting obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s trading symbol will remain NGSX.

As previously announced, on April 17, 2012, NASDAQ notified the Company that its securities were subject to suspension and delisting based upon the Company’s non-compliance with the $50 million market value of listed securities requirement for continued listing for The NASDAQ Global Market. The Company appealed the determination to a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel and a hearing was subsequently held. However, by letter dated June 27, 2012, the Panel indicated that it had determined not to grant the Company additional time to regain compliance with the continued listing criteria and, accordingly, that NASDAQ would move to suspend and delist the Company’s securities from the exchange.

ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.
