Joe's Receives Nasdaq Notification Letter

LOS ANGELES, CA, Sep 16, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- JOEZ | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Joe's Jeans Inc. (NASDAQ: JOEZ | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) announced today that the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Rule") because the closing bid price per share of its common stock has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days. The Nasdaq letter was issued in accordance with standard Nasdaq procedures. In accordance with Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company will be provided with 180 calendar days, or until March 15, 2010, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. This notification has no immediate effect on the listing of its common stock at this time.

To regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock must remain at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by March 15, 2010, Nasdaq will determine whether the Company meets The Nasdaq Capital Market initial listing criteria except for the bid price requirement. If it meets the initial listing criteria, Nasdaq will notify the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. If the Company is not eligible for an additional compliance period, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written notification that its common stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq's determination to delist its common stock to the Listings Qualifications Panel.
