Item 8.01Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on April 3, 2007, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel granted EMCORE Corporation (the “Company”) continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market subject to certain conditions, including that the Company file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 no later than May 10, 2007. On May 10, 2007, the Company received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market that the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel has granted the Company’s request filed on May 4, 2007 for an extension of the May 10, 2007 deadline. The extension is conditioned on the Company filing its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and all required restatements with the SEC by no later than June 18, 2007.

While the Company is making every effort to satisfy the terms of the extension, it can provide no assurances that it will ultimately be able to do so. If the Company is unable to file the required Forms 10-K and 10-Q with the SEC by June 18, 2007, the Company intends to seek from the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council an extension of time to maintain its listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market and a stay of any suspension of trading.

The Company also filed a Form 12b-25 with the SEC today reporting that the Company is unable to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 by the filing deadline of today due to the Company’s ongoing review of its prior stock option grants. The Company plans to file its Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2006, its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as soon as reasonably practicable.
