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

On May 26, 2010, Authentidate Holding Corp. (the “Company”) received a staff deficiency letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that for the past 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price per share of its common stock was below the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Listing Rule”). As a result, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that it is not in compliance with the Listing Rule. Nasdaq has provided the Company with 180 calendar days, or until November 22, 2010, to regain compliance. This notification has no immediate effect on the Company’s listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market or on the trading of the Company’s common stock.

To regain compliance with the Listing Rule, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the 180 day grace period. If the Company’s common stock does not regain compliance with the Listing Rule during this grace period, it will be eligible for an additional grace period of 180 calendar days provided that the Company satisfies Nasdaq’s initial listing standards for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, other than the minimum bid price requirement. If the Company does not regain compliance during the initial grace period and is not eligible for an additional grace period, Nasdaq will provide written notice that the Company’s common stock is subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market. In that event, the Company may appeal such determination to a hearings panel. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Listing Rule.

On May 28, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of Nasdaq’s letter. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
