The Notice further stated that the Company has been provided 180 calendar days, or until March 15, 2010, to regain compliance with the $1.00 per share bid price requirement in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). To regain compliance with the bid price requirement, 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 March 15, 2010.
The Company continues to monitor the bid price for its common stock. If its common stock does not trade at a level that is likely to regain compliance, the Company’s Board of Directors will consider options available to the Company to achieve compliance.
