INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

ITEM 8.01  OTHER EVENTS

As previously reported, on February 24, 2009, Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from NYSE Amex, formerly known as the American Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), indicating that the Company was not in compliance with certain requirements of the NYSE Amex Company Guide (the “Company Guide”), for the continued listing of its common stock on the Exchange, and that its common stock therefore was subject to delisting.

On July 7, 2009, the Exchange notified that Company that it had regained compliance with the requirements of the Company Guide for the continued listing of its common stock, and that its common stock therefore was no longer subject to delisting.

A copy of the press release that the Company issued with respect to the foregoing matters is furnished with this current report as Exhibit 99.1.
