ITEM 3.01 NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING.
On August 24, 2010, we received from Nasdaq a staff deficiency letter indicating that we have failed to comply with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. A minimum bid price of $1.00 per share is required by Nasdaq Rule 5450(a)(1).
Our common stock remains listed on the Nasdaq Global Market during the 180-day grace period following such notification of noncompliance. We have until February 22, 2011 to regain compliance with the minimum price rule; otherwise our common stock would be subject to delisting. We are considering several alternatives that could be taken to maintain a listing of our common stock.
Our press release dated August 30, 2010, attached to this report as an exhibit, is incorporated herein by reference.
