As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K of Callisto Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) dated as of April 11, 2008, the Company received notice from the staff of the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) indicating that it intends to strike the Company’s common stock from listing on AMEX by filing a delisting application with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In its letter, AMEX stated that it has determined that the Company has failed to comply with continued listing standards set forth in Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) of the AMEX Company Guide, respectively, which state, in relevant part, that AMEX will normally consider suspending dealings in, or removing from the list, securities of a company which (a) has stockholders’ equity of less than $2,000,000 if such company has sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years; (b) has stockholders’ equity of less than $4,000,000 if such company has sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years; or (c) has stockholders’ equity of less than $6,000,000 if such company has sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years, respectively.

 

The AMEX rules provide for an appeal of the above decision and the Company requested a hearing in accordance with appropriate procedures as outlined by the Company Guide.  The hearing was held on June 25, 2008.

 

On July 1, 2008, the Company received notice from the AMEX indicating that the AMEX will initiate the delisting process with respect to the Company’s common stock, in accordance with Part 12 of the Company Guide. The Company is taking the necessary steps to have its common stock traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.

 

In accordance with General  Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K,  shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended (the  “Exchange  Act”),  or otherwise  subject to the  liability of that section,  and shall  not be  incorporated  by  reference  into any  registration statement or other  document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the  Exchange  Act,  except  as  shall be  expressly  set  forth by  specific reference in such filing.
