TEL AVIV, Israel, August 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RiT Technologies Ltd. announced today that a Nasdaq Hearings Panel determined that the Company is entitled to an extended period within which to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.
The exception was issued by the Hearings Panel, which, at RiT's request, held a formal hearing regarding RiT's continued listing on July 24, 2008. On August 6, 2008, RiT was notified that the Hearings Panel granted RiT an exception to the requirement that it maintains a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share provided that, on or before November 13, 2008, the closing bid price of the Company's shares will be $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 prior consecutive trading days. In order to comply with the terms of the exception, RiT must continue to comply with all other Nasdaq requirements for continued listing.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the terms of the exception by November 13. At such time, the Company may decide to achieve compliance by effecting a reverse stock split of its shares, subject to obtaining the approval of shareholders in the upcoming annual general meeting scheduled for August 26, 2008.
