The notice also states that the Company will be provided 180 calendar days, or until October 29, 2012, to regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement. To regain compliance, the bid price of the Company's common stock must close at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If the Company does not regain compliance prior to October 29, 2012, then the Company may be eligible for a second 180 day period to regain compliance. In order to qualify for the additional time, the Company must apply to transfer its securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market by October 29, 2012 and, at the time transfer application is submitted, the Company must satisfy the Nasdaq Capital Market's requirements for listing, with the exception of the $1.00 bid price requirement, and meet certain other requirements. The Company's transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market is subject to review by Nasdaq staff. If Nasdaq staff concludes that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or should the Company elect not to submit a transfer application, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock will be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Global Market. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq's decision to a Nasdaq Hearing Panel.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock between now and October 29, 2012, and to consider available options if its common stock does not trade at a price likely to result in the Company regaining compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.
