TUSTIN, CA--(Marketwire - September 07, 2010) - Radient Pharmaceuticals Corporation (RPC) (NYSE Amex: RPC) announced today, it will reschedule its annual shareholders’ meeting originally scheduled on August 31, 2010.
As noted in its Form 8-K filed today, due to the continuing Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) review of RPC’s proxy statement and periodic reports that RPC is required to submit to its shareholders with the proxy statement, RPC was unable to file and mail its definitive proxy statement so as to give shareholders proper notice of the August 31, 2010 meeting date. RPC filed its response to the SEC’s most recent comment letter on August 31, 2010 and continues to work diligently with its outside securities counsel and independent auditors, as well as communicating with the SEC reviewers handling these filings, to re-schedule the meeting as soon as possible. There is no assurance that the SEC will clear RPC’s filings after reviewing the response and the SEC is entitled to issue additional comments if it deems them necessary. RPC will continue to respond to any additional comments as quickly as possible and will continue to do whatever we can to clear the comments as soon as possible. Due to the ongoing comment period with the SEC, RPC management determined it was prudent to wait until the Company is closer to clearing the comments before setting a new meeting date. Once a date has been determined RPC will issue a press release announcing meeting details.
As a result of the Shareholders’ meeting delay, RPC is not in compliance with certain terms contained in the Notes from the March and April 2010 financing. We are currently negotiating with Note holders to remediate this issue. Additional details can be found in the Form 8K filed today.
