RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif., Sept. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
ThermoGenesis Corp. (NASDAQ:KOOL), a leading supplier of innovative
products for processing and storing adult stem cells, said today it
had received a letter dated September 16, 2009, indicating the
Company had become non-compliant with the Nasdaq Capital Markets'
minimum bid pricing requirement under rule 5550(a)(2) as the
Company's closing bid price for the past 30 days had failed to meet
the minimum bid of $1.00 per share. In accordance with Nasdaq
listing rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a compliance period of
180 days, or until March 15, 2010, to regain compliance by having a
closing bid price of $1.00 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive
business days. If this compliance is not met within the 180-day
period, ThermoGenesis will receive written notification that its
securities are subject to delisting. The Company may appeal the
delisting determination to Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications Panel
and may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period if
it meets the Nasdaq Capital Market listing standards, other than
the minimum closing bid price requirement. About ThermoGenesis
