VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct 2, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- LBIX | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Leading Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq:LBIX), North America's only fully integrated healthy branded beverage company, announces that it received a staff determination letter from Nasdaq on September 29, 2009 advising that the Company had failed to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and that its securities were consequently subject to being delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company will request a hearing to appeal the staff determination. The request for hearing will automatically stay any suspension of the Company's securities, pending the Panel's decision. During the appeal process, the Company's common shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Company intends to implement a share consolidation (also known as a 'reverse stock split') if or when necessary to maintain the minimum bid price requirement. The Company's shareholders have already approved a share consolidation at a special meeting where the Company's Board was granted the discretion to select a consolidation ratio in a range between four and eight to one, inclusive. Further information will be provided closer to the effective date of the consolidation.
