Item 3.01.

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

On September 14, 2015, BG Medicine, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter indicating that the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) has determined to delist the shares of the Company’s common stock from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”), and will suspend trading in the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ effective at the open of business on Wednesday, September 16, 2015. The suspension is due to the Company’s continuing non-compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(b) as of September 10, 2015, as required by the Panel’s decision in this matter. NASDAQ further indicated that it would complete the delisting action by filing a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the Securities and Exchange Commission after applicable appeal periods have lapsed.

The Company expects that its common stock will be eligible for quotation on the OTC Markets’ OTCQB market tier, an electronic quotation service operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. for eligible securities traded over-the-counter, effective at the open of business on September 16, 2015. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under its current trading symbol “BGMD.”
