In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(4), the Company has 30 calendar days, or until November 10, 2008, to regain compliance to which BELLUS Health will strive towards. If the market value of the Company's common stock is US$50,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time prior to November 10, 2008, Nasdaq may determine that the Company has regained compliance with the applicable listing requirements. If compliance with the Rules cannot be demonstrated by November 10, 2008, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company's securities will be delisted, at which time the Company may appeal the determination to a Listing Qualifications Panel.

Among other alternatives the Company is considering if it cannot regain compliance with the requirements of The Nasdaq's Global Market as set forth above, is applying to transfer its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market. Currently, the Company believes that it meets the criteria to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market. However, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will approve the Company's transfer application.
The Company's common stock is also listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and such listing is not affected by the notice received from Nasdaq.
