Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On May 25, 2010, SearchMedia Holdings Limited (the "Company") received a written notice from NYSE Amex LLC (the "Exchange"), indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the Exchange's continued listing criteria set forth in Sections 134 and 1101 of the NYSE Amex LLC Company Guide because it did not timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The Company previously received a similar notice dated April 22, 2010 because it did not timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
On May 5, 2010, the Company submitted a plan of compliance in relation to the April 22, 2010 letter advising the Exchange of the action it has taken, or will take that would bring the Company into compliance with the listing standards no later than July 21, 2010. The Exchange has not acted on the Company’s May 5, 2010 plan of compliance. The Exchange’s May 25, 2010 notice provided that the Company may supplement the May 5, 2010 plan of compliance by June 8, 2010. The Company intends to provide supplemental information by the required Exchange deadline.
The Corporate Compliance Department of the Exchange will evaluate the plan, including supplemental information, and will make a determination as to whether the Company has made a reasonable demonstration of an ability to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by July 21, 2010, in which case the plan will be accepted. If the plan is accepted, the Company will remain listed during the plan period ending July 21, 2010, during which time it will be subject to periodic review to determine whether it is making progress consistent with the plan. If the Company’s plan of compliance, including supplemental information, is not accepted, the Company will be subject to delisting proceedings.
The Company intends to submit its plan of compliance, including supplemental information, and file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the Form 10- Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 within the required time periods.
