TORONTO, March 3 /CNW/ - Bradmer Pharmaceuticals Inc.

As set out in a news release issued by the TSX on February 5, 2010, the TSX has determined to delist the common shares of Bradmer at the close of market on March 5, 2010 for failure by Bradmer to meet the continued listing requirements of TSX.

Application has been made by Bradmer for a listing of its common shares on the NEX Board of the TSX Venture Exchange, such listing to be effective following delisting from the TSX.
