ITEM 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On November 5, iPass Inc. (the “Company”) received formal notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) has determined to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq based upon the Company’s non-compliance with the minimum $35 million market value of listed securities requirement. The notification states that Nasdaq will suspend trading in the Company’s shares effective with the open of business on November 7, 2018, and that Nasdaq will complete the delisting process by filing a Form 25 “Notification of Delisting” with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) after the applicable review periods have expired. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company may request that the Panel reconsider its decision or appeal the delisting determination to the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council, but it must do so within the next 7 or 15 days, respectively. The Company is considering its options; however, a request for reconsideration or appeal would not stay the suspension of trading in the Company’s securities on Nasdaq scheduled for November 7, 2018.
The Company’s shares will be eligible to trade “over-the-counter” in the OTC Markets system effective with the open of business on November 7, 2018, under the current symbol “IPAS.” The Company may also file an application to have its shares quoted on the OTCQB® Market tier (“OTCQB”), which is operated by OTC Market Groups Inc. The Company will also continue to be registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act and will continue to file periodic financial reports that will be available on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.
