On September 27, 2011, Carver Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market that the staff had made a determination that the Company did not regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule requiring securities listed on The Nasdaq Global Market to maintain a minimum market value of publicly held shares of $5.0 million by the September 26, 2011 deadline set forth in the staff's March 28, 2011 notification of non-compliance. Consequently, unless the Company appeals this determination, The Nasdaq Stock Market will suspend trading in the Company's common stock at the opening of business on October 6, 2011 and file a Form 25-NSE removing the Company's common stock from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Global Market.
The Company has until October 4, 2011 to appeal this determination. An appeal would stay the delisting of the Company's common stock until such time as the Company has been afforded a hearing. The Company has notified Nasdaq that it intends to appeal this determination.
