(Nasdaq: ISLE) announced that on March 13, 2007 the Company received a NASDAQ Staff Determination letter indicating that due to the Company's announcement of its intention to restate certain of its financial statements as set forth in its March 12 press release and as detailed below, and the Company's resulting inability to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q by the March 9 due date, Isle of Capri is not in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing of its common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14).
