Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On June 13, 2005, Proxim Corporation (“Proxim” or the “Company”) received notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that the Company fails to comply with their requirements for the continued listing of our common stock in light of our recent bankruptcy filing. A result of such failure, Nasdaq notified the Company that, as of the opening of business on June 15, 2005, a “Q” will appended to the Company’s trading symbol “PROX.” Unless Proxim appeals, the Company’s common stock will be de-listed from The Nasdaq National Market at the opening of business on June 22, 2005.
In the notice, Nasdaq advised Proxim that Nasdaq had made its determination after considering Proxim’s filing for bankruptcy on June 11, 2005. In light of the bankruptcy filing, Nasdaq staff cited Marketplace Rules 4300 and 4450(f) specifically, public interest concerns generally, as well as concern regarding the residual equity interest of our existing securities holders as grounds for our non-compliance. Additionally, Nasdaq staff voiced concern over our ability to come back into compliance with the $1 minimum bid price requirement of Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5); as previously disclosed, the staff initially notified us of our non-compliance with this rule on June 3, 2005.
In light of the Company’s efforts to sell substantially all of its assets and to wind up its affairs under the United States Bankruptcy Code, Proxim currently does not intend to exercise our right to appeal Nasdaq’s determination. If Proxim does not appeal Nasdaq’s determination, Proxim’s common stock will be de-listed from The Nasdaq National Market and will not be immediately eligible for listing on the OTC Bulletin Board. De-listing will make our stock more difficult to trade, likely reduce its trading volume, and likely further depress our stock price.
On June 14, 2005, Proxim issued a press release to announce receipt of the de-listing notice and the actions to be taken thereunder. A copy of the press release is attached to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 8.01. Other Events
On or about June 13, 2005, Proxim Corporation completed a move of its corporate headquarters from Sunnyvale, California to San Jose, California. The Company’s new corporate headquarters is located at 2115 O’Nel Drive, San Jose, California 95131. This new address is reflected on the cover page to this current report on Form 8-K. The Company’s phone and fax numbers remained unchanged.
