Rosetta Genomics Ltd.

 

On June 6, 2012, Rosetta Genomics Ltd. (“Rosetta”) issued a press release announcing that Roy N. Davis had been appointed as a member of its Board of Directors. Mr. Davis has not been appointed to any committees of the Board of Directors. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 6-K and incorporated by reference herein.

 

As previously announced, on April 17, 2012, Rosetta received notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) that it was not in compliance with the $2.5 million minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market. Also as previously announced, on May 31, 2012, Rosetta completed a registered direct offering of its ordinary shares for net proceeds of approximately $6.0 million and, as a result, believed it had regained compliance with this requirement.  On June 5, 2012, Rosetta received confirmation from NASDAQ that it has satisfied the stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market. A copy of the press release, dated June 6, 2012, announcing compliance with the requirements for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 6-K and incorporated by reference herein.

 

The information contained in this Report (including the exhibits hereto) is hereby incorporated by reference into Rosetta’s Registration Statements on Form F-3, File Nos. 333-159955, 333-163063, 333-171203, 333-172655 and 333-177670.
