SAN RAMON, Calif.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Neonode (Pink Sheets:NEON), the Swedish mobile communication company that develops touch screen technologies today announced that on December 30, 2008, the Company was notified by the staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") has determined to delist the shares of the Company from the Nasdaq Stock Market and to suspend trading effective at the open of trading on Friday, January 2, 2009. Effective January 2, 2009, the Company's shares began trading on the Pink Sheets under the symbol "NEON.PK".

The Panel determined that the Company failed to regain compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing standards by December 29, 2008, and that the Panel did not have the authority under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules to continue the Company's listing. Specifically, the Panel determined that as of December 29, 2008 the Company did not comply with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3), which requires a minimum stockholders' equity of $2,500,000.

The Company intends to appeal this decision to the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review council because, as of the date of this Press Release, the Company has regained compliance with the stockholders' equity requirement. In parallel, the Company is in the process of transferring the quotation of its common stock to the OTC Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB"). The Company is in the process of working with one of its market makers to file a Form 211 with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") to seek clearance to quote the Company's common stock on the OTCBB. However, no assurance can be given that market makers currently making a market in the Company's common stock will continue to make a market in the Company's common stock or that the Company's common stock will continue to be eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. The Company intends to request that current market makers continue to make markets in the Company's common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board and/or the Pink Sheets, as the case may be.
