Item 3.01.
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On May 18, 2011, LiveDeal, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department informing the Company of its failure to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.  As of March 31, 2011, the Company had stockholders’ equity of $2,124,183, as reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Company on May 16, 2011.

In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(C), the Company was given a 45-day period (until July 5, 2011) to provide the Nasdaq staff with a specific plan to achieve and sustain compliance with all of the Nasdaq Capital Market listing requirements, including a time frame for the completion of the plan.  After the Nasdaq staff reviews the Company’s plan, the staff will provide the Company with written notice of its decision.  If the Nasdaq staff rejects the Company’s plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal any resulting delisting determination or public reprimand letter to a Nasdaq hearings panel.  During the 45-day period described above, including any extension thereof, and the pendency of an appeal (if any), the Company’s common stock will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

As of the date of this filing, the Company has not made any final decisions regarding what action(s) to take in response to the letter described above.
 
Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

In connection with the Company’s continued employment of Lawrence W. Tomsic as its Chief Financial Officer, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Tomsic, effective as of May 20, 2011 (the “Employment Agreement”).  The Employment Agreement provides for a one-year term of employment, which may be extended upon the parties’ mutual agreement, and an annual base salary of $220,000.  Mr. Tomsic will be entitled to receive an annual performance bonus in the event that the Company reaches certain performance measures established by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors (or its Compensation Committee).  Mr. Tomsic’s target bonus will be equal to $80,000.

The Employment Agreement further provides that Mr. Tomsic is entitled to an option to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.97 per share, which was equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.  The option was granted pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Plan and will vest according to the following schedule:  3,333 options immediately on the date of grant and 1/32 of the remainder each month beginning on June 20, 2011.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all unvested shares will immediately vest and become exercisable if a Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement) occurs and Mr. Tomsic’s employment is terminated, or certain other events occur, within the 12-month period following the Change in Control.

If the Company terminates Mr. Tomsic’s employment without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) and certain other conditions are met (including that Mr. Tomsic provide a valid release of claims in favor of the Company), Mr. Tomsic will be entitled to receive a lump sum severance payment equal to his then current monthly salary for each full 12-month period following the date on which Mr. Tomsic first began providing services to the Company.  The Employment Agreement also provides that the Company will reimburse Mr. Tomsic for reasonable business expenses and allows him to participate in its regular benefit programs.
