Item 3.01 - Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On October 24, 2011, Presstek, Inc. (the "Company") received a notification letter (the "Notice") from The NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") advising the Company that for 30 consecutive trading days preceding the date of the Notice, the bid price of the Company's common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum required for continued listing on The NASDAQ Global Select Market pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1) (the "Minimum Bid Price Rule").
The Notice has no effect on the listing of the Company's common stock at this time and the Company's common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "PRST."
The Notice also stated that the Company will be provided 180 calendar days, or until April 23, 2012, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. To do so, 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 that date.
If compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule cannot be demonstrated by April 23, 2012, NASDAQ will provide written notification to the Company that the Company's common stock is subject to delisting. The Company may, however, be eligible for an additional grace period if it satisfies the initial listing standards (with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Rule) for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market, and submits a timely notification to NASDAQ to transfer the listing of its common stock to the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Company may also appeal NASDAQ's delisting determination to a NASDAQ Hearings Panel.
The Company intends to continue to monitor the bid price for its common stock. If the Company's common stock does not trade at a level that is likely to regain compliance with the NASDAQ requirements, the Company's Board of Directors will consider other options that may be available to achieve compliance, including, but not limited to, seeking implementation of a reverse stock split, which would require approval of the Company's stockholders. The Company's Board of Directors has taken no action at this time to implement a reverse stock split.
