Item 3. 01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On December 16, 2011, Ikanos Communications, Inc. (the Company) received from the Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq) a letter (the Nasdaq Letter) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1) requiring listed securities maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. Based upon the closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the Nasdaq Letter, the Company no longer meets this requirement.
The Nasdaq Letter advises the Company that, in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company will be provided 180 calendar days, or until June 13, 2012, to regain compliance. The Nasdaq Letter further advises that such compliance can be achieved if, at any time before June 13, 2012, the bid price of the Companys common stock closes at $1.00 or more per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. However, there can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the continued listing requirement of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1).
If the Company does not regain compliance by June 13, 2012, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock may be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaqs decision to a Listing Qualifications Panel. The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price for its common stock between now and June 13, 2012, and will consider its available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirements.
