NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING. On November 23, 2004, BindView Development Corporation ("BindView") received a notice from The Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff indicating that BindView failed to timely file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2004 (the "Report"), as required by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). To ensure it remains listed until it can file the Report and regain compliance with all applicable listing standards, BindView took the additional step to file an appeal of the delisting notification to The Nasdaq Listings Qualifications Panel (the "Panel"). The filing of this appeal will stay the delisting of BindView's common stock until BindView regains compliance with all applicable listing standards through the filing of the Report or, should that not occur, pending the Panel's decision. As a result of its expectation to file the Report prior to the completion of the appeals process, BindView expects to become compliant with the applicable Nasdaq listing requirements prior to the completion of the appeals process.
