Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer or Listing.
On March 10, 2006, Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (the “Company” or “PRIMUS”), received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that Nasdaq would transfer the Company’s shares to the Nasdaq Capital Market, effective at the open of business on March 14, 2006, and that the Company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market would be contingent upon the successful completion of an application and review process.
On March 13, 2006, the Company announced that its application to transfer its listing to the Nasdaq Capital Market had been approved by The Nasdaq Stock Market. Effective at the open of business on March 14, 2006, the Company’s common stock was transferred from the Nasdaq National Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “PRTL” on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
The Company sought the transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market because it did not satisfy the minimum bid price requirement of the Nasdaq National Market. Under the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, PRIMUS has an additional grace period through June 12, 2006 to comply with the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirements for continued trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
