The company will today be talking with securities council regarding the pursuit of civil action against the Market Makers in question for stock manipulation with the intent of issuing subpoena's for their trading records of BioCentric Energy stock.

SEC Emergency Short Sale Order

The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued new rules on short selling of financial companies. In effort to provide constant updates of those rules, NASDAQ has posted two lists of Included Financial Firms:

--  Companies selected from Appendix A to the Emergency Order
--  Additional companies that also meet the criteria, but that were not
    included in Appendix A to the Emergency Order.
    

Current and Historical lists can be found at http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/Trader.aspx?id=trader_sec_shortsale.

As announced in RA #2008-027, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued further guidance to protect investors against "naked" short selling:

The SEC is "extending temporary Rule 204(a)'s close-out requirement for fails to deliver attributable to bona fide market making activities by registered market makers, options market makers, or other market makers obligated to quote in the over-the-counter market (collectively, "Market Makers")."

REG SHO Overview

As defined in Rule 203(c)(6) of Regulation SHO, a "threshold security" is any equity security of any issuer that is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, or that is required to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (commonly referred to as reporting securities), where, for five consecutive settlement days:

--  There are aggregate fails to deliver at a registered clearing agency
    of 10,000 shares or more per security;
--  The level of fails is equal to at least one-half of one percent of the
    issuer's total shares outstanding; and
--  The security is included on a list published by a self-regulatory
    organization (SRO).
    

A security ceases to be a threshold security if it does not exceed the specified level of fails for five consecutive settlement days.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has amended Regulation SHO to eliminate the "grandfather provision" effective October 15, 2007. Please refer to Regulatory Alert #2007-086 for complete details.
