EnteroMedics Inc. has retired its Senior Amortizing Convertible Notes, converted all $18.75 million in notes to shares of common stock, as part of a strategy to regain compliance with the Nasdaq requirement that it have a minimum of $2.5 million of stockholders’ equity.
The move to retire the notes, along with a move the company made to implement a reverse stock split, will allow EnteroMedics to continue being listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Representatives from the company will go before a Nasdaq Listing Qualification Panel on Jan. 12 to appeal a delisting notice stemming from not fulfilling the two requirements.
