Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On July 7, 2011, Provident Community Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market notifying the Company that, for 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s common stock had not maintained a market value of its publicly held shares of at least $1,000,000 as required for continued inclusion on The NASDAQ Capital Market by Listing Rule 5550(a)(5). This notification has no effect on the listing of the Company’s securities at this time.
NASDAQ has provided the Company 180 calendar days, or until January 3, 2012, to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(5). If, at any time before January 3, 2012, the market value of publicly held shares of the Company’s common stock closes at $1,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, NASDAQ will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(5) and the Company’s shares will continue to trade on The NASDAQ Capital Market. If the Company cannot meet the minimum market value of publicly held shares requirement by January 3, 2012, NASDAQ will provide written notice that the Company’s securities will be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market. At such time, the Company would be entitled to appeal the delisting determination to a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel.
