SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 2018--
Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) (the “Company”),a
global leader in high performance, high-efficiency server, storage
technology and green computing, today announced that the Nasdaq Hearings
Panel (the “Panel”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) has granted
the Company’s request to continue its listing on Nasdaq through August
24, 2018, subject to the condition that the Company becomes current with
its SEC filings by that date and informs the Panel the Company is
current with such filings. The Panel decision also requires that the
Company promptly notify the Panel of any significant events that occur
during this exception period, including but not limited to, any event
that may affect the Company’s historical financial information or that
may impact the Company’s ability to maintain compliance with any Nasdaq
listing requirement or become current with its SEC filings by August 24,
2018. The Panel has reserved the right to reconsider the terms of this
exception to the Nasdaq listing standards based on any event, condition
or circumstance that exists or develops that would, in the opinion of
the Panel, make continued listing of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq
inadvisable or unwarranted.
The Panel’s determination follows a hearing on April 26, 2018 before the
Panel at which the Panel considered the Company’s plan to regain
compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”), which requires
timely filing of periodic reports with the SEC. The Company is
diligently working to become current with its SEC filings and intends to
continue to take all steps necessary to regain compliance with the Rule.
As the Company previously announced in its press release on May 3, 2018,
the Company intends to file its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the
quarters ended September 30 and December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018
promptly after filing the 2017 10-K. The Company today filed with the
SEC a Report on Form 12b-25 regarding the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
due on May 10, 2018 (the “Q3 10-Q”). The Company understands that the
exception to the listing standards through August 24, 2018 described
above will also cover any such notice from Nasdaq regarding the
Company’s failure to file the Q3 10-Q.
