COR Cortex Pharmaceuticals,

Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE Amex (COR)) reported that it has received a delisting notification from the NYSE Amex LLC indicating that it has not accepted the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the Exchange’s continued listing standards, as submitted by the Company in June. Specifically, the notice indicated that the Company is not in compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE Amex Company Guide regarding stockholders’ equity and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses; and Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Company Guide in that its financial condition has become so impaired that it appears questionable, in the opinion of the Exchange, as to whether the company will be able to continue operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature.

The Company plans to appeal this determination and request a hearing before a listing qualifications panel. Such a hearing is anticipated to be scheduled within 45 days of the hearing request. During the appeals process, the Company expects that its common stock will remain listed on the Exchange.

There can be no assurance that the listing qualifications panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing of its common stock. In the event that the Company’s common stock is delisted from the Exchange, the Company believes that its common stock will be eligible to trade or be quoted on alternative markets, such as the Over the Counter Bulletin Board or the Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (commonly referred to as the “pink sheets”).

Currently patient enrollment is underway in Cortex’s clinical trial of CX1739 in patients with moderate to severe sleep apnea. This pilot study in patients was undertaken based on research by Dr. John Greer at the University of Alberta. Chronic sleep apnea can lead to serious long-term consequences such as cardiovascular disease, stroke and diabetes. Also, recent studies with Cortex’s High Impact AMPAKINE molecules in animal studies demonstrated that CX1837 produced marked increases in the rate and extent of recovery of motor function following brain damage induced by a stroke in mice. In another study, CX929 exhibited a mood stabilizing effect in mice, suggesting the potential for treating bipolar disorder. The Company currently has two compounds in clinical development: CX1739, which is targeted for sleep apnea and ADHD, and intravenous CX717 for treatment of drug-induced respiratory depression.

Cortex is also actively engaged in on-going discussions related to strategic alternatives, including licensing, partnering and M&A opportunities. At some time in the future, Cortex may also seek to raise additional capital through the sale of debt or equity. There can be no assurance that any of these aforementioned discussions will result in a transaction.

Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Cortex, located in Irvine, California, is a neuroscience company focused on novel drug therapies for treating psychiatric disorders, neurological diseases and brain-mediated breathing disorders. Cortex is pioneering a class of proprietary pharmaceuticals called AMPAKINE® compounds, which act to increase the strength of signals at connections between brain cells. The loss of these connections is thought to be responsible for memory and behavior problems in Alzheimer’s disease. Many psychiatric diseases, including schizophrenia, occur as a result of imbalances in the brain’s neurotransmitter system. These imbalances may be improved by using the AMPAKINE technology.
