Selectica, Inc. (Nasdaq:SLTC), a leading provider of enterprise contract
lifecycle management and sales configuration solutions, today announced
that it had received notice on September 15, 2009 from The NASDAQ Stock
Market ("NASDAQ") that for the previous 30 consecutive trading days, the
Company's common stock closed below the minimum $1.00 bid price per
share required by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180
calendar days, or until March 15, 2010, to regain compliance. If, at any
time before March 15, 2010, the bid price for the Company's common stock
closes at $1.00 or more for the minimum 10 consecutive business days
required, the NASDAQ staff will provide written confirmation to the
Company that it complies with Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), unless NASDAQ
staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10 day period pursuant to
Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(F).
If compliance with the rule cannot be demonstrated by March 15, 2010,
the Company will receive written notification that its securities are
subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the staff's
determination to a Hearings Panel. Alternatively, the Company may be
eligible for an additional 180 day grace period if it meets the initial
listing criteria set forth in Listing Rule 5505, except for the bid
price requirement, for The Nasdaq Capital Market. To avail itself of
this alternative, the Company will need to submit an application to
transfer its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market.
