ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
As disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K filed by Helios and Matheson Information Technology Inc (the “Company”) on October 13, 2011, on October 11, 2011, the Company received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) stating that a deficiency existed with regard to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(5) (the “Market Value Rule”) which requires a minimum market value of publically held shares of $1,000,000. Based upon NASDAQ’s review of the Company’s market value of publicly held shares for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer met this requirement. Pursuant to the Listing Rules, NASDAQ communicated to the Company that it had a grace period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the $1,000,000 minimum market value of publicly held shares requirement.
On January 3, 2012, the Company received a letter from NASDAQ stating that the market value of the Company’s publicly held shares had been $1,000,000 or greater for the 10 consecutive business day period beginning on December 15, 2011 and ending on December 29, 2011. As a result, the Company has regained compliance with the Market value Rule and the matter is now closed.
