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

On December 15, 2011, the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notified Aetrium Incorporated (“Company”) that the Company’s common stock failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 over the previous 30 consecutive business days as required by the Listing Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market. Since then, Nasdaq has determined that for the 10 consecutive business days from August 27, 2012 to September 11, 2012, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock has been at $1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly, on September 12, 2012 Nasdaq advised the Company that it has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and this matter is now closed.
