SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 16, 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 it has received a
letter from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the
“Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company
that since it remains delinquent in filing its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 and its Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2017 and
December 31, 2017, the Staff has determined that the Company is
non-compliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Previously the Staff
granted the Company an extension until March 13, 2018 to file all
delinquent periodic reports. As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s
common stock is subject to suspension in trading on March 23, 2018 and
delisting from Nasdaq unless the Company requests a hearing before a
Hearings Panel by March 21, 2018.
On March 16, 2018, the Company submitted a letter to Nasdaq requesting a
hearing before a Hearings Panel at which it intends to present its plan
to regain and thereafter maintain compliance with all applicable Nasdaq
listing requirements. The hearing request automatically stays the
delisting process for a period of 15 calendar days from the date of the
deadline to request a hearing. The Hearings Panel has the authority to
grant the Company additional time of up to 360 days from the original
due date of the Company’s first late filing to regain compliance before
further action would be taken to delist the Company’s common stock.
In connection with its request for a hearing, the Company has also
requested a stay of the suspension of trading and delisting of its
common stock, pending the decision of the Hearings Panel. The Hearings
Panel will notify the Company by April 5, 2018 of its decision to allow
the Company to continue to trade on Nasdaq pending the hearing and a
decision by the Hearings Panel. There can be no assurance that the
Hearings Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing or
stay the delisting of its common stock.
