On July 15, 2010, OMNI Energy Services Corp. (the “Company”) announced that the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) has granted the Company an extension of time to regain compliance with NASDAQ Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”). As previously disclosed, the Company received a standard notification from NASDAQ as a result of the Company’s failure to file its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2010 (the “Form 10-Q”) as required under the Rule.
The Company submitted a plan to regain compliance with the Rule for submission to NASDAQ on July 6, 2010 and was subsequently notified on July 13, 2010 that an extension of time to regain compliance has been granted until November 15, 2010. The terms of the extension provide that the Company must file the Form 10-Q on or before November 15, 2010. If the Company does not meet this deadline, NASDAQ Staff will provide written notification that the Company’s common stock will be delisted, subject to any appeal the Company may initiate. It is the Company’s intention to regain compliance as soon as practicable pending completion of internal reviews.
The Company issued a press release on July 15, 2010 disclosing its receipt of the extension from NASDAQ. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
