P-Com Moves to Over-the-Counter (OTC) Bulletin Board for Quotation Of Securities

 

CAMPBELL, Calif., Mar 7, 2003—P-Com, Inc., a worldwide provider of wireless telecom products and services, announced today that its securities will trade electronically on the Over-the-Counter (OTC) Bulletin Board under the symbol PCOM effective the opening of business March 10, 2003.

 

The OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB) is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices, and volume information in over-the-counter equity securities. Information regarding the OTC Bulletin Board, including stock quotations, can be found at www.otcbb.com.

 

P-Com earlier received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market of the determination by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel that the Company’s common stock would no longer be listed by The Nasdaq SmallCap Market based upon the Company’s inability to satisfy certain quantitative listing standards, including the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement, as of March 7, 2003.

 

“This decision by Nasdaq was anticipated and does not affect our day-to-day operations and does not deter us from our goal of providing innovative products for telecom operators and integrators around the world,” said P-Com Chairman George Roberts. “Over the past year, P-Com has made great strides in improving its balance sheet, in rolling out new products and attracting new customers.”

 

In 2002, P-Com raised $8.4 million in capital, and completed a restructuring of $22.4 million in convertible notes obligations, retired an additional $6.9 million of convertible notes, and secured a $5 million bank line of credit. In January, P-Com signed a letter of intent to acquire privately held Procera Networks Inc. of Sunnyvale, California with the intent to enter the market for advanced switching products.
