Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On June 3, 2008, Wilsons The Leather Experts Inc. (the “Company”) received a Nasdaq Staff Determination indicating that the Company’s securities are subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market. The Company has requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (“Panel”) to review the Staff Determination.
Previously, Nasdaq advised the Company that it failed to comply with the minimum $10.0 million stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the The Nasdaq Global Market as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(3). The Company subsequently responded to Nasdaq on April 30, 2008, outlining a plan for regaining compliance and requesting an additional period of time to execute its plan before facing possible delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market. The June 3 rd Nasdaq letter reported the Nasdaq Staff’s determination that the Company’s plan did not demonstrate a definitive plan to achieve near term compliance or sustain compliance over an extended period.
Furthermore, as previously announced on February 21, 2008, the Staff notified the Company on February 15, 2008 that the closing bid price of its common stock had been below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, and accordingly, that the Company did not comply with Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5). In addition, as previously announced on May 7, 2008, the Staff notified the Company on May 1, 2008 that the minimum market value of publicly held common shares of its common stock had been below $5.0 million for 30 consecutive trading days, and accordingly, that the Company did not comply with Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(2).
As required by Marketplace Rule 4804(b), the Company issued a press release on June 9, 2008, reporting the receipt of the Nasdaq Delisting Determination. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
