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

 

On June 19, 2012, Satcon Technology Corporation (the “Company”) received a delisting determination letter from the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) due to the Company’s failure to regain compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market’s minimum bid price requirement for continued listing, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”).  The delisting determination letter also stated that the Company was not in compliance with the initial listing requirement of The Nasdaq Capital Market of having a minimum stockholders’ equity of $4 million, and was therefore not eligible to receive an additional 180 days to gain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.  Unless an appeal is filed, as discussed below, the Company’s common stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market on June 28, 2012.

 

The Company intends to appeal the Nasdaq Staff’s determination and will request a hearing to appeal such determination within seven calendar days of receipt of the letter.  While the appeal process is pending, the delisting of the Company’s common stock will be stayed, and the common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market.  While there can be no assurance that the appeal will be successful,  the Company expects to provide a plan to regain compliance to the Nasdaq hearing panel which will include a commitment to effect a reverse stock split, if necessary.
