Regaining compliance allows us to remain focused on driving growth through our value creation strategies,” said Fred Colen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Neovasc. The Company is also listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) and the Company’s noncompliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement does not affect the Company’s compliance status with the TSX.About Neovasc Inc.Neovasc is a specialty medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets products for the rapidly growing cardiovascular marketplace.
