HONG KONG, April 21 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- PacificNet Inc. , a leading provider of CRM and telemarketing services, call center, Interactive Voice Response (IVR), Direct Response Television (DRTV), and Value-Added Services (VAS) in China, today announced that due to the delay in the filing of its Form 10-KSB for the period ended December 31, 2005, it has received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the Company's common stock is subject to delisting pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) requires the Company to make on a timely basis all filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Accordingly, the Company's securities are subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Stock Market at the opening of business on April 28, 2006. PacificNet expects to be able to file its 10-KSB early next week or before April 28 in order to maintain its continued listing on Nasdaq. Otherwise, PacificNet will appeal the NASDAQ Staff's determination by requesting a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel, which would automatically stay the delisting of PacificNet's common stock pending the Panel's review and determination. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing.
