Item 3.01.    Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
 
On October 19, 2007, LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. (the "Company") notified The NASDAQ Stock Market that, as a result of the resignation of Guido J. Neels as a director of the Company effective August 8, 2007, the Company was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq's independent director requirement in accordance with Marketplace Rules 4350(c)(1), which requires a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors, and 4350(d)(2)(a), which requires the participation of three independent directors on the audit committee. The Company was not obligated to comply with these requirements prior to the first anniversary of its initial public offering per Marketplace Rule 4250(a)(5), which permits a phase-in period for compliance.

Consistent with the marketplace rules, the Company shall fill the vacant independent director seat in order to regain compliance in accordance with the following schedule:

* by the earlier of the Company's next annual shareholders' meeting or August 8, 2008: or

* if the next annual shareholders' meeting is held before February 4, 2008, then no later than February 4, 2008.

If the Company fails to regain compliance within this cure period, its common stock is subject to delisting upon notification of such a determination by Nasdaq staff, which determination may be appealed.
