The Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, and the Nasdaq Capital Market are the three market tier designations for companies listed on the Nasdaq. The Nasdaq Capital Market operates in substantially the same manner as the Nasdaq Global Market. EntreMed's trading symbol will remain "ENMD" and trading of the Company's stock will be unaffected by this change. Securities listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market must meet certain financial requirements and adhere to Nasdaq's corporate governance standards.
