Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On April 2, 2007, we completed the private placement of 261,574 units at a price of $14 per unit (the Transaction). Seven insiders, including officers and directors of the Company (the Insiders), purchased some of the units in the Transaction. The Transaction resulted in the issuance of shares of common stock to the Insiders at a discounted price. As a consequence, the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Department (the Listing Department) determined that we had inadvertently violated NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(A) (the Rule) by failing to obtain shareholder approval prior to selling shares of common stock to the Insiders at a discount. The Listing Department verbally notified us of this shareholder approval violation on May 8, 2007.
In submissions dated May 18 and 30, 2007, we provided NASDAQ with amended subscription agreements for the Insiders, each of which reflected a price equal to the market value of the units. Accordingly, on June 19, 2007, we received a letter from NASDAQ (the NASDAQ Letter), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, indicating that the Listing Department had determined that we failed to comply with, and subsequently regained compliance with, the Rule for continued listing and that this matter is now closed.
Although we have regained compliance under the Rule, we are still required to disclose receipt of the NASDAQ Letter and, pursuant to Marketplace Rule 4803(a), issue a press release disclosing receipt of the NASDAQ Letter and the NASDAQ rules upon which such deficiency was based. We issued a press release on June 25, 2007, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
