SMART Technologies to Transfer NASDAQ Listing to the NASDAQ Capital Market

SMART Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:SMT) has been given approval for its request to transfer the company’s Nasdaq listing from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market.
According to the press release:

The Company’s securities will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market effective at the opening of business on December 31, 2015. The Company’s common shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “SMT.” The Nasdaq Capital Market is a continuous trading market that operates in substantially the same manner as the Nasdaq Global Select Market, but with less stringent listing requirements.
This listing transfer does not impact the listing of the Company’s shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange, where the shares will continue to trade under the symbol “SMA.” The Company’s business operations are not affected by the transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market.
As previously noted on July 21, 2015, the Company was advised by Nasdaq that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in the Nasdaq Rules for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. The Company has until January 12, 2016 to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirements, and other requirements of continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In the event such compliance requirements are not met, the Company would expect to receive a notice of delisting of the Company’s securities from Nasdaq shortly thereafter. Such notice may be open to appeal by the Company, a process that could take several weeks. The customary means for a company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirements is a reverse stock split, or share consolidation, an approach the Company is considering, although no decision in that regard has yet been made.
