Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On May 12, 2006, Image Sensing Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that on May 9, 2006, it received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq Letter”) indicating that the Company failed to comply with the nominating committee requirements for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(4). The Nasdaq Letter referenced the Company’s 2006 Proxy Statement filed on April 17, 2006, which stated that Mr. James Murdakes, a non-independent director of the Company, was a fifth member of the Company’s Nominating Committee. This statement in the 2006 Proxy Statement, which was inadvertently added to the 2006 Proxy Statement shortly prior to mailing, was incorrect. The Company established its Nominating Committee on April 15, 2004, and elected the following four independent directors to the committee: Richard P. Braun, Michael G. Eleftheriou, Richard C. Magnuson and Panos G. Michalopoulos. There have been no changes to the composition of the Nominating Committee since April 15, 2004. Mr. Murdakes was not listed as a member of the Company’s Nominating Committee in the Company’s 2004 Proxy Statement or 2005 Proxy Statement.
The Nasdaq Letter states that the staff is reviewing the Company’s eligibility for continued listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market. In order to facilitate this review, on or before May 24, 2006, the Company is required to provide Nasdaq with the Company’s specific plan and timetable to achieve compliance with Rule 4350(c)(4). If, after the conclusion of Nasdaq’s review process, the staff determines that the plan does not adequately address the compliance issues, then the Company will receive notification that its securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the staff’s determination to a Listing Qualifications Panel.
The Company considered the distribution of additional solicitation materials to the Company’s shareholders in order to correct the error in the 2006 Proxy Statement. However, with the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders scheduled for May 17, 2006, the materials would not arrive in time for the meeting unless the meeting was delayed. The Company does not believe that this error warrants delay of the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders. Because the Company is currently in compliance with Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(4), the Company has determined that no specific action is warranted in response to the Nasdaq Letter.
