Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On March 20, 2013, Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) advising the Company that it is not in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) for continued listing due to the Company’s inability to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 on a timely basis. This notification was issued in accordance with standard NASDAQ procedures and has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ letter indicated that the Company has until May 20, 2013 to submit a plan explaining how it expects to regain compliance. If NASDAQ approves the Company’s plan, it can grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Form 10-K (or until September 16, 2013) to regain compliance.
