| ITEM 3.01 | | NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING. |
On August 23, 2007, Bell Microproducts Inc. (the “Company”) received the decision of the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”) on the Company’s appeal of a decision of the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”). The Listing Council determined that the Panel’s February 21, 2007 decision to grant the Company’s request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market and to extend, until May 22, 2007, the time for the Company to become compliant with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, was appropriate at the time that it was rendered. In addition, the Listing Council has granted the Company an extension, until October 22, 2007, for it to become compliant with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. The Company issued a press release on August 29, 2007 disclosing its receipt of this decision. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
As previously disclosed, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14), requiring that the Company furnish Nasdaq copies of periodic reports the Company is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company is working diligently to complete its financial restatements in order to comply with its SEC filing requirements.
