Section 3 — Securities and Trading Markets.

 

Item 3.01.                                              Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard;  Transfer of Listing.

 

On November 24, 2010, Spherix Incorporated (the “Company”) received written notification (the “Notice”) from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) advising the Company that the bid price of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) for the previous thirty (30) consecutive trading days had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Price Requirement”) required for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market pursuant to NASDAQ Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”).  The Notice has no effect on the listing of the Common Stock at this time.

 

Pursuant to NASDAQ Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until May 23, 2011, to regain compliance with the Minimum Price Requirement.  The Notice further provides that NASDAQ will provide written notification stating that the Company has achieved compliance with the Rule if at any time before May 23, 2011, the bid price of the Common Stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days, although, under certain circumstances, NASDAQ has the discretion to require compliance for a period in excess of ten (10) consecutive business days.

 

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Rule by May 23, 2011, and if the Company is not otherwise entitled to a further compliance period, NASDAQ will provide notice to the Company that the Common Stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market.  If the Company receives such a letter, the Company will have an opportunity to appeal the determination to a NASDAQ Hearings Panel.

 

The Company’s stockholders have previously approved and authorized the Company’s Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split at any time prior to mid-May, 2011.  The Company’s Board of Directors will consider whether and when to implement such a split.
