Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
(c) On March 24, 2011, the Company received a letter from the staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) Listing Qualifications Department indicating that, as reported to NASDAQ by the Company in its letter dated March 17, 2011 described in the Original Report, the Company did not comply with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) (the “Rule”) from May 18, 2010 to March 8, 2011 as the result of the service of Mr. John Reynolds on the Company’s audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) during that period. The letter indicated that the Staff determined that the Company regained compliance with the Rule effective March 8, 2011 when Mr. Fred Dyment replaced Mr. Reynolds on the Audit Committee, and that, subject to the public disclosure requirements of NASDAQ, this matter is now closed. Mr. Reynolds will continue to serve on the Company's Board of Directors.
