Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On September 25, 2012, Dynacq Healthcare, Inc. (the “Company”) received notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company’s common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market effective at the opening of business on October 4, 2012. The delisting of the Company’s common stock is a result of the Company’s failure to make timely payment of certain listing fees, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(f), in the amount of $5,000. In light of the prior Nasdaq notice described in further detail below, the Company concluded that no valid business purpose would be served by making payment of these fees. The Company does not intend to request an appeal hearing regarding the delisting.
As discussed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on April 13, 2012, Nasdaq informed the Company that it would be subject to delisting upon a failure to regain compliance with (i) the $1.00 minimum bid price per share of its common stock pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) for a period of at least ten consecutive business days ending on a date prior to October 9, 2012, and (ii) the minimum market value of its publicly held shares of at least $5,000,000.00 pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(C) for at least ten consecutive business days prior to October 9, 2012. As a result of the trading halt currently in effect for the Company’s common stock and the failure of the minimum bid price to reach $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive business days after receipt of the Nasdaq letter and prior to the commencement of the trading halt, and in light of the fact that there are currently fewer than ten business days remaining before October 9, 2012, the Company does not believe that it will be able to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules discussed above prior to October 9, 2012. As a result, the Company believes that it would have become subject to delisting for failure to comply with Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) on October 9, 2012, even if it had paid the listing fees in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(f) on or before October 4, 2012.
