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

As previously disclosed, on September 16, 2011, EDGAR Online, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market stating that the bid price of the Company’s common stock was below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days and that, as a result, the Company no longer met the NASDAQ Capital Market’s minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were afforded 180 calendar days, or until March 14, 2012, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule. We did not regain compliance with that rule because the closing bid price of our common stock did not meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least 10 consecutive business days during the applicable 180-day period. Accordingly, on March 15, 2012, we received from NASDAQ a deficiency letter (the “March 15 Letter”), notifying us that the failure to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement serves as an additional basis for delisting our common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market. As described in the March 15 Letter, we are not eligible for an additional grace period to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule because we do not satisfy all applicable requirements for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(b).

Also on March 15, 2012, the Company appeared before the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel to appeal the previously disclosed determination of the NASDAQ staff that the Company’s common stock should be delisted because the market value of the Company’s listed securities had not regained compliance with the minimum requirement for continued listing set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). The March 15 Letter states that the Panel will consider the minimum bid price deficiency in its pending decision regarding the continued listing of the Company’s stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market. In this regard, the Company has the opportunity to provide the panel by March 22, 2012 with the Company’s views regarding the additional deficiency. We understand that the Panel generally issues a written decision approximately 35 days after the hearing, but the Company could receive a written decision sooner.

Pending the Panel’s decision, the Company’s common stock continues to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “EDGR.” There can be no assurance the Panel will grant the Company’s appeal for continued listing and our common stock may be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market.
