(NASDAQ: MDXG), a leading developer and marketer of regenerative and therapeutic biologics, today announced that a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) granted the Company’s request for a listing extension.

The Audit Committee is working diligently with its advisors to complete the investigation, and the Company is also working to prepare its financial statements for audit and regain compliance with its SEC reporting obligations and Nasdaq listing rules as soon as practicable.

There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq, or that the Company’s plans to exercise diligent efforts to maintain the listing of its common stock on Nasdaq will be successful. The Company expects to provide an update regarding its continued listing status once the Panel makes its determination sometime after the hearing.
