Section 3 - Securities and Trading Markets
Item 3.01 - Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On December 26, 2012, Rainmaker Systems, Inc. (the "Company") received a notification letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"), because the bid price for the Company's common stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for 30 consecutive business days. The Notice has no effect on the listing of the Company's common stock at this time and the Company's common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "RMKR”. In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810, the Company has been provided an initial 180 calendar days, or until June 24, 2013, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To do so, the bid price of the Company's common stock must close at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days prior to that date. If compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement is not achieved by that date, the Company will be eligible for an additional 180-day grace period to achieve compliance, provided that the Company continues to meet all other applicable Nasdaq listing standards. The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price for its common stock. If the Company's common stock does not trade at a level to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement within the allowed grace periods, the Company will consider other options that may be available to resolve the deficiency.
