If at any time prior to March 15, 2010 the bid price of the Company's common stock closes at $1.00 per share or higher for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq staff will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance with the minimum bid price rule and the matter will be resolved. If the Company does not regain compliance by March 15, 2010, Nasdaq staff will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq's delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. Alternatively, the Company could apply to transfer its common stock to The Nasdaq Capital Market if it satisfies all of the requirements, other than the minimum bid price rule, for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5505. If the Company were to elect to apply for such transfer and if it satisfies the applicable requirements and its application is approved, the Company would have an additional 180 days to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule while listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price for its common stock between now and March 15, 2010, and is currently evaluating all available options in response to the notice to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price rule.
