BIOLASE Technology, Inc. Announces Compliance With Nasdaq Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement

IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - October 18, 2010) - BIOLASE Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: BLTI), the world’s leading dental laser company, announced today that it has regained compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. On October 15, 2010, the Company received formal notification from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department that it has regained compliance as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(b)(1), or 5550(b)(2), or 5550(b)(3), and that Nasdaq now considers this compliance issue closed.

Federico Pignatelli, Chairman and CEO, commented, “I am very pleased that the Regulatory Body of Nasdaq has cleared BIOLASE for continuing its listing on the Exchange. We are completing the last phase of the radical restructuring of the Company’s business based on the new direct and multi distributor sales model, rather than the exclusive distribution agreement with Henry Schein (NASDAQ: HSIC). This new sales model now allows us independently to leverage the entire North American marketplace as well as most major international territories for high tech laser dental equipment. With the critical support of the Nasdaq listing, we are successfully concentrated on BIOLASE’s renewed revenue growth and rapid return to profitability.”
