"Meeting the more stringent requirements for a NASDAQ Global Market listing is representative of the progress Arrowhead is making in building value for shareholders," said R. Bruce Stewart, Arrowhead's Chairman. "We are confident that the listing will generate even broader market exposure for the company."

The NASDAQ Global Market consists of over 1,450 companies that have applied for listing, having met and continued to meet stringent financial and liquidity requirements and agreed to meet specific corporate governance standards. Formerly called The NASDAQ National Market, this market was renamed in 2006 to reflect the global leadership and international reach of this market and the companies whose securities are listed there.
