Item 3.01    Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard;Transfer of Listing.

On January 14, 2010, Senesco Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “Senesco”) received notice from the NYSE Amex LLC (“NYSE”) stating that the exchange had accepted the Company’s compliance plan and granted it an extension until April 29, 2011 to regain compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards.  As previously disclosed, Senesco is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE company guide with stockholder’s equity of less than $6,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.  Based on this, the Company submitted a plan advising the NYSE of action it will take, that the Company believes would bring Senesco into compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards by the end of the extension period.

During the extension period, the Company remains subject to periodic review by NYSE Staff. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the extension period could result in Senesco being delisted from the NYSE.
