Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
|
(a) On April 11, 2013, we received a written notice of deficiency from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on account of our failure to comply with Nasdaq’s Marketplace Rule 5550(b)(2) requiring us to maintain a $35 million minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) for our common stock. The Nasdaq notification has no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock. We have 180 calendar days (i.e., until October 8, 2013) to regain compliance with the Rule. If prior to that date, we achieve a MVLS for our common stock of $35 million or more for at least 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that we have achieved compliance with the Rule. If we cannot demonstrate compliance with the Rule by October 8, 2013, Nasdaq may notify us of its intent to delist our common stock. In this case, we can appeal any delisting determination by the Nasdaq staff to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
Nasdaq also advised us in its letter that we do not meet the requirements under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires maintenance of $2.5 million of stockholders’ equity, and Rule 5550(b)(3), which requires net income from continuing operations of $500,000 or more in 2012 or in two of the three years 2010, 2011 and 2012. However, Nasdaq did not advise us that our failure to meet those Rules subjects us to potential delisting.
Under Rule 5550, we can regain compliance and avoid the potential for delisting of our common stock by satisfying any one of the MVLS test, the minimum equity test or the minimum net income test. We will continue to monitor the MVLS for our common stock and consider various options available to us if our common stock does not trade at a level that is likely to regain compliance within the requisite grace period. We also will consider raising additional equity capital to bolster our stockholders’ equity.
We issued a press release on April 17, 2013 to disclose our receipt of the Nasdaq letter. We have attached a copy of the press release as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report.
