CHALFONT, Pa., June 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ClearPoint Business Resources, Inc. , a provider of innovative workforce management solutions, announced that, on June 9, 2008, the Company received a letter (the "Notice") from The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) ("Rule 4310(c)(4)") because, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company's common stock had closed below the minimum requirement of $1.00 per share. The Notice states that in accordance with the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, the Company will be provided 180 calendar days, or until December 8, 2008, to regain compliance with Rule 4310(c)(4). If, at any time before December 8, 2008, 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, the staff of the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") may provide the Company written notification that it has achieved compliance with Rule 4310(c)(4).
The Notice also states that if the Company does not regain compliance with Rule 4310(c)(4) by December 8, 2008, the Staff will determine whether the Company meets the Nasdaq Capital Market initial listing criteria as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c), except for the bid price requirement. If the Company meets such initial listing criteria, the Staff will notify the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. If the Company is not eligible for an additional compliance period, the Staff will provide written notification that the Company's securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company would have the ability to appeal the Staff's decision to the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel. The Company can offer no assurance that it will be able to achieve compliance with the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules referenced above.
