ITEM 3.01 NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING

 

On September 15, 2009, we received a deficiency notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for our common stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Global Market under Marketplace Rules 5450(a)(1). The letter also states that in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, Netlist has 180 days, or until March 15, 2010, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.  This letter has no immediate effect on the NASDAQ listing or trading of Netlist’s common stock.

 

Netlist will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule if the bid price of its common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days before March 15, 2010.  However, if Netlist does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule by March 15, 2010, the Nasdaq staff will provide Netlist with a written notification that its common stock is subject to delisting.  At that time, Netlist may appeal the delisting determination to a NASDAQ Hearing’s Panel.  If successful at the Hearing, Netlist may be granted an additional 180 days, or until September 15, 2010, to regain compliance.

 

A copy of our September 21, 2009 press release announcing receipt of the notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The information contained in this current report shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into a filing under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
