| Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On January 3, 2013, Broadway Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received a written notification from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it fails to comply with Nasdaq’s Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”) because the bid price for the Company’s common stock over the last 30 consecutive business days has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing. The notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock.
In accordance with Nasdaq’s Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until July 2, 2013, to regain compliance with the Rule. If at any time before July 2, 2013, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the Rule.
If compliance with the Rule cannot be demonstrated by July 2, 2013, the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market. In the event that the Company receives notice that its common stock is subject to being delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company may be eligible for additional time, provided that the Company can meet all other initial listing requirements for the Nasdaq Capital Market and provides written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period of an additional 180 days, by various plans, including effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
The Company will continue to monitor the bid price for its common stock and consider various options available to it if its common stock does not trade at a level that is likely to regain compliance.
As previously announced, the Company is pursuing a comprehensive Recapitalization that is intended to reduce approximately $22 million of senior debt, preferred stock and related accumulated dividends.
