TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard;
Transfer of Listing.
On January 24, 2008, BioScrip, Inc. (the Company) received written notification from the
Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (Nasdaq) that the Company had violated the shareholder
approval requirement set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(i); the letter also indicated that the
Nasdaq staff had determined that the Company has regained compliance with the Rule and the matter
is now closed. The Company violated the above-referenced Rule by delivering to its non-employee
directors in May 2007 option agreements for an aggregate of 55,000 shares of Company common stock
under a director stock option plan that had expired prior to that date. The Company had previously
notified Nasdaq that the option agreements had been erroneously delivered, that the options
purportedly evidenced by the option agreements were never granted and that, upon discovery of the
error, the Company had cancelled the option agreements.
The Nasdaq letter also requires that the Company issue a press release disclosing receipt of
such letter and the Nasdaq rules upon which such letter was based. The Company issued such a press
release on January 25, 2008. A copy of the press release, dated January 25, 2008, is attached as
Exhibit 99.1 to this report. The exhibit is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.01.
