Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On December 10, 2009, Digital Angel Corporation , a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the Nasdaq’s requirements for continued listing because, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closed below the minimum $1.00 per share price requirement for continued inclusion under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) (the “Rule”). In accordance with the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, the Company will be provided 180 calendar days, or until June 8, 2010, to regain compliance with the Rule.

If, at any time before June 8, 2010, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Nasdaq staff will provide the Company written notification that it is in compliance with the Rule. However, if the Company does not regain compliance with the Rule by June 8, 2010, the Nasdaq staff will determine whether the Company meets the Nasdaq Capital Market initial listing criteria set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c), except for the bid price requirement, and if it does, the Company will be granted an additional 180 calendar day compliance period.

A copy of the press release announcing receipt of the Nasdaq letter is included as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
