ITEM 3.01   Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
     On June 10, 2011, DRI Corporation (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Notification Letter”) from the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) notifying the Company that it no longer meets NASDAQ’s continued listing requirement under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). The Notification Letter states that the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days and that the Company is therefore not in compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
     The Notification Letter has no effect at this time on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market, and the Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “TBUS.”
     The Notification Letter states that the Company will be afforded 180 calendar days, or until December 7, 2011, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days. If the Company does not regain compliance by December 7, 2011, NASDAQ will provide written notification to the Company that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Company may, however, be eligible for an additional grace period if it satisfies the initial listing standards (with the exception of the Bid Price Rule) for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Company may also appeal NASDAQ’s delisting determination to a NASDAQ Hearings Panel.
     The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price of its common stock and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
