SPACEHAB, Incorporated, (NASDAQ: SPAB) a provider of commercial space services, announced today that it has received notice from the NASDAQ Stock Market that the Company has regained compliance with Marketplace Rules 4310(c)(4) and 4310(c)(3), relating to the maintenance of a minimum $1.00 bid price and $2.5 million minimum shareholders’ equity requirements, respectively.

In accordance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, the Company was required to evidence a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days which it completed on December 12, 2007. Further, the Company regained compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement as a result of a recently completed exchange offer of notes for equity.

Additionally, NASDAQ had previously notified the Company that it was not in compliance with the NASDAQ independent director and audit committee requirements. Consistent with Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(1), which requires that a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors, and 4350(d)(4) requiring the participation of three independent directors on the audit committee, NASDAQ will provide the Company a cure period in order to regain compliance until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholder’s meeting, or October 16, 2008; or, if the next annual shareholder’s meeting is held before April 14, 2008, then SPACEHAB must evidence compliance no later than April 14, 2008.

“Compliance with NASDAQ listing requirements has been an overall company goal while we complete our financial and operational restructuring,” said Thomas B. Pickens, III, SPACEHAB, Inc. Chief Executive Officer. “We are proud to have come this far in such a short time as SPACEHAB begins 2008 with many exciting and valuable initiatives. Remaining on NASDAQ is essential to our long term plans and continued restructuring,” he said.
