| Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. On June 22, 2007, Paulson Capital Corp. (the "Company") received a Letter of Reprimand from the Staff of the The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC for failure to satisfy the independent nominating committee requirements of Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(4)(A)(i) (the "Rule"). In reaching its determination, the Staff noted that prior to May 14, 2007, the Company did not possess a separate nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors as required by the Rule, but that this omission was corrected on or about May 14, 2007, when "the Company notified the Staff that it had adopted a board resolution establishing a standing nominations committee, thereby demonstrating compliance with the formal written charter or board resolution requirement." The Staff also observed that the non-compliance "does not appear to have been the result of a deliberate intent to avoid compliance" and that "once this issue was brought to the Company's attention, it was cured in a prompt and effective manner." Because it has estab lished an independent nominating committee in conformity with the Rule, the Company has been notified issuance of the Letter of Reprimand closed the matter. On June 25, 2007, the Company issued a press release in accordance with Marketplace Rule 4803(b). A copy is filed as an exhibit to the report. Item 9.01.
