On April 3, 2013, Ixia (the “Company”) received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC stating that because the Company had not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”), the Company no longer complied with the Nasdaq listing requirements and specifically with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires that listed companies timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).
In a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing filed by the Company with the Commission on March 19, 2013, the Company had reported that while its 2012 Form 10-K could not be filed by the prescribed due date of March 18, 2013, the Company expected to file the 2012 Form 10-K on or before April 2, 2013, which was the extended due date under Rule 12b-25. The Company was not, however, able to file the 2012 Form 10-K within the extended filing period.
On April 4, 2013, the Company filed the 2012 Form 10-K with the Commission and, by making such filing, has regained compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements and specifically with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).
