MACC Private Equities Inc. Announces Nasdaq Delinquency Notification Letter
CARDIFF-BY-THE-SEA, Calif., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- On September 13, 2010, MACC Private Equities Inc. (the "Company") received a Nasdaq Staff Delinquency Letter indicating that the Company has been delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market and Nasdaq will suspend trading of the Company's common stock effective September 15, 2010.
As previously reported, the Company went before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") on April 28, 2010 regarding its bid price deficiency and failure to meet the Nasdaq Capital Market's minimum bid price for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In its ruling issued on May 14, 2010, the Panel continued the Company's listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market with the condition that the Company, on or before September 13, 2010, demonstrate a closing price of $1.00 or more for at least ten consecutive days. The Company failed to meet this condition and has subsequently received notification that its securities will be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market effective the opening of trading on September 15, 2010. At this time the Company will not ask the Panel to review the decision.
Following the delisting of the Company's securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company expects that its common stock will be quoted on the Pink Sheet Electronic Quotation Service on the Pink Sheets OTCQB market beginning on September 15, 2010.
