Item 3.01
|
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
|
As previously reported on June 20, 2012, Active Power, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), transferred the listing of its common stock from The NASDAQ Global Market to The NASDAQ Capital Market and was provided 180 calendar days, or until December 17, 2012, to meet the $1.00 minimum bid price per share requirement for continued listing of its common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market, as set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”), by maintaining a closing bid price of at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days within the stated 180-day period.
On December 18, 2012, the Company, received a written notification of deficiency from The NASDAQ OMX Group (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it has failed to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule (the “Notification Letter”) by the December 17, 2012 deadline. The Notification Letter informed the Company that Nasdaq has determined to schedule the Company’s common stock for delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market at the opening of business on December 28, 2012. However, the Company has the right to request an appeal of this determination to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) and the hearing request will stay the delisting of the Company’s common stock.
On or prior to December 26, 2012, the Company intends to request a hearing to appeal Nasdaq’s delisting determination to the Panel in accordance with Nasdaq’s applicable procedures set forth in the NASDAQ Listing Rule 5800 Series. Under applicable rules, the Company expects its common stock will remain listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market pending the Panel's decision. In order to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, on December 17, 2012, the stockholders of the Company approved a five for one reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock (as described in Item 5.07 below). The Company expects the reverse stock split to be effective before the end of December 2012, at which time the Company expects that its common stock will trade above the $1.00 minimum price per share. The Company’s common stock will have to maintain a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive days to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. There can be no assurance as to the actual trading price of the Company’s common stock.
