Alvarion® Regains Compliance with NASDAQ Minimum Bid Price Rule
Tel Aviv, Israel, April 19, 2013 – Alvarion® Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALVR), a global provider of optimized wireless broadband solutions addressing the connectivity, coverage and capacity challenges of public and private networks, today announced it has received notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC that the Company has regained compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market.
As previously announced on May 1, 2012, NASDAQ had notified the company that the bid price of its ordinary shares had closed at less than $1.00 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days and, as a result, the Company was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until October 23, 2012, to regain compliance with that rule. Subsequently, the Company received an additional 180 calendar days, or until April 22, 2013, to regain compliance with the rule.
On April 17, 2013, NASDAQ notified the Company that the closing price of its ordinary shares has been at $1.00 per share or greater for at least 10 consecutive business days. Accordingly, NASDAQ has confirmed to the Company that it has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and that the matter is now closed.
