GigaBeam Announces Voluntary Delisting from NASDAQ
Durham, NC, January 03, 2008 --(PR.com)-- GigaBeam Corporation (NASDAQ:GGBM - News), today announced that it has provided formal notice to the Nasdaq Stock Market of its intention to voluntarily delist its common stock, its “IPO Warrants” and its “Z Warrants” from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The ticker symbol for the common stock is GGBM, the ticker symbol for the “IPO Warrants” is GGBMW and the ticker symbol for the “Z Warrants” is GGBMZ.
The Company received a Notice of Noncompliance from NASDAQ on November 30, 2007 indicating the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards. This letter was sent in response to the Company’s failure to have a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity or $35,000,000 market value of listed securities or $500,000 of net income from continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three most recently completed fiscal years, as required by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3).
The Company does not foresee that it will become compliant with these listing standards in the foreseeable future and as such will voluntarily delist from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about January 11, 2007 with the delisting becoming effective 10 days after such filing. Accordingly, the Company anticipates that the last day of trading on NASDAQ of its common stock, “IPO Warrants” and “Z Warrants” will be on January 21, 2007. The Company believes that its common stock will be eligible for listing on the NASD Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board following its delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
