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 February 14, 2013, Rainmaker Systems, Inc. (the "Company") received a Staff determination letter (the “Determination Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it did not comply with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market as set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(b)(1) (the "Continued Listing Requirement"), and that the Staff had determined to deny the Company's request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
As previously disclosed, on November 12, 2012, the Company received a notification letter from the Staff indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the Continued Listing Requirement because the Company did not meet the minimum stockholders' equity requirement of $2,500,000, nor the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations.
The Company intends to appeal the Staff's determination to the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) and timely request a hearing before the Panel within seven calendar days of receipt of the Determination Letter, which will stay the suspension of trading and de-listing of the Company's common stock while the appeals process is pending. Accordingly, the common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market pending the Panel's decision.
The Determination Letter states that if the Company requests an appeal, the Company will be asked to provide the Panel with a plan to regain compliance with the Continued Listing Requirement. The Company's plan would include a discussion of the events that the Company believes will enable it to timely regain compliance.
