Item 3.01. | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On November 3, 2015, Cumulus Media Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Rule”) because the minimum bid price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market has closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The NASDAQ letter has no immediate effect on the NASDAQ listing or trading of the Company’s common stock.
In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until May 2, 2016, to regain compliance with the requirements under the Rule. If, at any time before that date the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, NASDAQ will notify the Company that it has achieved compliance with the Rule.
In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Rule by May 2, 2016, NASDAQ will notify the Company that its common stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market, unless the Company requests a hearing before a NASDAQ Hearings Panel. Alternatively, the Company may apply to transfer its securities to the NASDAQ Capital Market if it satisfies the requirements for initial listing set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5505(a), with the exception of the minimum bid price. If such an application for transfer were approved, the Company would have an additional 180 calendar days to comply with the Rule in order for the Company’s common stock to remain listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market.
This information is being provided solely to comply with NASDAQ Listing Rules requiring public announcement of the Company’s receipt of the letter from NASDAQ.
