Ability Inc. Announces Receipt of a Notification from NASDAQ Regarding Deficiencies in Compliance with Certain Listing Rules
TEL AVIV, Israel, April 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Ability Inc. (NASDAQ: ABIL) (the "Company"), a leading provider of innovative tactical communications intelligence solutions, today announced that on April 19, 2017 it received notification from the Nasdaq Listings Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Capital Market ("NASDAQ") that as a result of the recent resignation of all of the Company's independent directors from the Company's board of directors, as the Company previously announced on April 10, 2017, the Company is no longer in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rules 5605(b)(1), 5605(c)(2), 5605(d)(2) and 5605(e) (collectively, the "Rules"), as the Company's board of directors is no longer comprised of a majority of independent directors nor does it have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee.
The Company has until May 3, 2017, a period shorter than normal, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the above listing rules, and if such plan is accepted by NASDAQ, then NASDAQ can grant an extension until October 16, 2017 for the Company to regain compliance with such rules. In addition, NASDAQ requested that the Company submit a detailed narrative that provides additional information regarding the events and circumstances that led to the simultaneous resignation of the independent directors and certain corporate documentation. The Company is actively searching for qualified independent directors to serve on the Board and the applicable committees thereof. The Company intends to appoint these directors prior to May 3, 2017. The Company believes that these efforts will bring the Company into compliance with the listing rules prior to May 3, 2017. However, if the Company is unable to appoint such independent directors prior to May 3, 2017, it intends to submit the requested plan to NASDAQ. There can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately be able to regain compliance with the listing rules.
