Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On November 10, 2011, Ditech Networks, Inc. received from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) a letter indicating that for 30 consecutive business days the bid price of Ditech Networks’s common stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global Market under Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1). In accordance with Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), Ditech Networks has 180 calendar days, or until May 8, 2012, to regain compliance. If at any time before May 8, 2012 the bid price of Ditech Networks’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that Ditech Networks has achieved compliance. If Ditech Networks does not regain compliance by May 8, 2012, Ditech Networks may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of bid price, and has applied to transfer its common stock to The Nasdaq Capital Market and has provided written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the grace period. If Nasdaq determines that Ditech Networks will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if Ditech Networks determines not to submit an application to transfer its common stock to The Nasdaq Capital Market or provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency, then Nasdaq will provide written notification that Ditech Networks’s common stock will be subject to delisting, after which Ditech Networks may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel.
