As previously reported, CombiMatrix Corporation (the “Company”) submitted to the NASDAQ Stock Market a plan for regaining compliance with the $2,500,000 minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market under NASDAQ Capital Market Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Listing Rule”) and was granted an extension until August 20, 2013 to evidence compliance with the Listing Rule in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2013.

On August 20, 2013, the Company received a notification from NASDAQ that, based on the Company’s Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2013, the NASDAQ Staff has determined that the Company complies with the Listing Rule and the matter is now closed.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to maintain compliance long-term with NASDAQ requirements for continued listing.
