ITEM 3.01 NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING

On May 20, 2008, Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) received an additional Staff Determination Letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) informing the Company that, because it had not filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 (the “Quarterly Report”), it was not in compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) and, therefore, its common stock would be subject to delisting from NASDAQ. As disclosed in the Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 13, 2008, the Company was unable to file its Quarterly Report by the prescribed May 12, 2008 due date. Because of the delay in completing the audited financial statements and filing the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which filing occured on May 16, 2008, it was not able to file the Quarterly Report by the extended filing date under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Timely filing of periodic reports is a requirement for continued listing under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). The Company intends to file the Quarterly Report as soon as practicable after the completion of its financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

On May 23, 2008, the Company issued a press release reporting the receipt of the letter from NASDAQ. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Integra LifeSciences Receives NASDAQ Notice of Non-compliance Due to Delayed Form 10-Q

PLAINSBORO, N.J., May 23, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) — Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq: IART) today announced that, as expected, on May 20, 2008, the Company received a notice of non-compliance from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC due to the Company’s failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 (the “Form 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as required by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14).

In accordance with NASDAQ’s most recent notice, the Company plans to make a written submission to the NASDAQ Panel to address the Form 10-Q filing delay and to request continued listing on NASDAQ pending the filing of the Form 10-Q with the SEC. While the Company is hopeful that the Panel will grant its request for continued listing on NASDAQ, there can be no assurance that the Panel will do so.

As previously disclosed, on March 18, 2008, the Company received a notice of non-compliance from NASDAQ due to the Company’s failure to timely file the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 (the “2007 Annual Report”) with the SEC.  The Company subsequently attended a hearing before the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “NASDAQ Panel”) at which it requested continued listing on NASDAQ pending the filing of the 2007 Annual Report with the SEC. The Company filed the 2007 Annual Report on May 16, 2008.
