TAIPEI, July 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ: GIGM), an online games and computing services provider, today announced that it has received a positive determination from the Nasdaq Stock Market on July 9, 2015 granting approval on the Company's request to an additional 180-day grace period. The Company's securities will continue to trade on Nasdaq Capital Market effective on Tuesday, July 14, 2015 under the symbol "GIGM."
As previously reported, GigaMedia was notified by Nasdaq on January 14, 2015, that it no longer satisfied the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing of $1.00 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The Company is being afforded an additional 180-day grace period to regain compliance with the Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement upon transfer to the Capital Market. In order to regain compliance, the minimum bid price per share of the Company's common stock must be at least $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the additional 180-day grace period, which will end on January 11, 2016. If the Company fails to regain compliance during this second grace period, the Company's common stock will be subject to delisting by Nasdaq. The Company has provided written notice of its intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency during the second grace period by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary.
