Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On July 6, 2011, Zanett, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) notifying the Company that the bid price per share for the Company's common stock has closed below the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for 30 consecutive trading days and that, as a result, the Company no longer meets The NASDAQ Capital Market's minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2). No breach of any other listing requirement was listed in the letter.
Pursuant to Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until January 3, 2012, to regain compliance with the rule. To regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock must close above $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days. Furthermore, the letter also states that in certain circumstances, the NASDAQ staff has the discretion to require compliance for a period in excess of 10 consecutive business days, but generally no more than 20 consecutive business days.
The 180-day compliance period relates exclusively to the Company's bid price deficiency. The Company may be delisted during the 180-day period for failure to maintain compliance with any other listing requirement which occurs during this period. Currently the Company believes that it is not in breach of any other listing requirement.
If, by January 3, 2012 the Company cannot demonstrate compliance with Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2), then the NASDAQ staff will determine whether or not the Company meets The NASDAQ Capital Market initial listing criteria set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5550, except for the bid price requirement.
If the Company meets the initial listing criteria (with the exception of the bid price requirement) and provides written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period (by reverse stock split, if necessary), the NASDAQ staff will notify the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar day compliance period, or until July 1, 2012.
If the Company is not eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period, the NASDAQ staff will provide written notice that the Company’s securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the NASDAQ staff’s determination to delist its securities to a Listing Qualifications Panel.
The Company’s management and Board of Directors are considering various alternatives to address this issue.
A copy of the letter (redacted for personal information) is included as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
