Abstract:
Arrowhead Research Corporation (NASDAQ: ARWR) today announced that, on March 16, 2010, it received a notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that the Company will have an additional 180-day grace period, until September 13, 2010, to regain compliance with NASDAQ's $1.00 minimum bid requirement.

Arrowhead Receives Additional 180 Day Grace Period to Comply with the NASDAQ $1.00 Minimum Bid Requirement

Pasadena, CA | Posted on March 19th, 2010

In accordance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company is eligible for the additional grace period because it meets the initial listing requirements for the NASDAQ Capital Market except for the bid price. The notification indicated that the Company did not regain compliance during the initial 180-day grace period provided under the rule. The Company's common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market during the 180-day period.

The Company can regain compliance by maintaining a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive business days. If Arrowhead does not meet the minimum bid requirement during the 180-day grace period, NASDAQ will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company can ask NASDAQ for a hearing to present a plan to regain compliance.

"This extension provides us with another six months to further our business, technical and organizational milestones, which we believe will lead to a higher market value of our stock, in line with NASDAQ's requirements," said Chris Anzalone, Arrowhead's President and CEO.
