| Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On May 26, 2010, Pulaski Financial Corp. (the “Company”) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), dated May 26, 2010, indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5250(c)(1). The Nasdaq letter, which the Company expected, was issued in accordance with standard Nasdaq procedures due to the delayed filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 (the “Form 10-Q”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).
As previously disclosed, the Company required additional time to file the Form 10-Q as it responded to the findings of its primary federal regulator in the course of their regular periodic examination. The findings related principally to risk classifications of certain loans and the level of the Company’s allowance for loan losses. The examination fieldwork has been substantially completed and management believes that it has appropriately addressed and resolved any such findings. The Company anticipates filing the Form 10-Q within the next few weeks.
The Company is required to submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s filing requirements for continued listing within 60 calendar days of the date of the Nasdaq notification letter. Upon acceptance of the Company’s compliance plan, Nasdaq is permitted to grant an extension of up to 180 days from the Form 10-Q’s filing date, or until November 15, 2010, for the Company to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s filing requirements for continued listing. The Company anticipates that the filing of its Form 10-Q within the 60-day period will eliminate the need for it to submit a formal plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s filing requirements for continued listing.
A press release disclosing the Company’s receipt of the Nasdaq notification letter, dated June 2, 2010, is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is furnished herewith.
| Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On June 2, 2010, the “Company”), the holding company for Pulaski Bank, announced that it will host its second quarter results conference call on June 4, 2010 at 11 a.m. EDT. Directions on how to participate in the conference call and webcast are contained in the Company’s press release dated June 2, 2010, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
