Item 3.01. | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On February 1, 2010, we received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market stating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605, which requires that we have a majority of independent directors and an Audit Committee consisting of three directors. As a result of the director resignations and subsequent appointments previously announced by the Company, we currently have six directors, three of whom are independent, and an Audit Committee of two members.
Pursuant to Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, we have a cure period lasting until the earlier of our next stockholders meeting or January 21, 2011, or until July 20, 2010 if our next stockholders’ meeting is held before then, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605. The Company may regain compliance with this rule by appointing a fourth independent director to its Board who would also serve on its Audit Committee.
