Columbia Laboratories, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Issuer”), has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), pursuant to section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder, to withdraw its Common Stock, $.01 par value (“Security”), from listing and registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (“Amex” or “Exchange”).

15 U.S.C. 78 l (d).

The Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Issuer unanimously approved a resolution on September 18, 2003 to withdraw the Issuer's Security from listing on the Amex and to list the Security on Nasdaq National Market System (“NMS”). The Board states that it deems it advisable, and desirable and in the best interest of the Issuer to switch the listing of its Security from the Amex to Nasdaq NMS.

The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in the State of Delaware, in which it is incorporated, and with the Amex's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security from listing and registration.

The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the Security from listing on the Amex and shall not affect its continued listing on the Nasdaq NMS nor its obligation to be registered under section 12(b) of the Act.

15 U.S.C. 78 1 (b).

Any interested person may, on or before March 12, 2004, submit by letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the Amex and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the protection of investors. All comment letters should refer to File No. 1-10352. The Commission, based on the information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a hearing on the matter.

For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated authority.

Jonathan G. Katz,

Secretary.
