Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
|
On June 4, 2013, Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that because the Company had not regained compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), the Company's common stock (listed on The Nasdaq Global Market) would be subject to delisting unless the Company requests a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") on or before June 11, 2013.
The Company intends to request a hearing before the Panel. Such a request will stay any delisting action in connection with the notice and allow the continued listing of the Company's common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market until the Panel renders a decision subsequent to the hearing. At the hearing, the Company intends to present a plan to regain compliance with the Rule and request that the Panel allow the Company additional time within which to regain compliance. While the Company believes that it will be able to present a viable plan to regain compliance, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, or that the Company's plans to exercise diligent efforts to maintain the listing of its common stock on Nasdaq will be successful.
