As previously announced, Embarcadero received a NASDAQ notice of non-compliance on November 15, 2006 in relation to the delay in filing its Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 ("Third Quarter Form 10-Q"). The Third Quarter Form 10-Q and Form 10-K filing delays are attributable to the fact that a Special Committee appointed by Embarcadero's Board of Directors has been conducting a review of Embarcadero's historical stock-based compensation practices. In response to the first notice of non-compliance, Embarcadero requested a hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel"). Following the hearing, the Panel granted Embarcadero's request for continued listing, provided that Embarcadero meets certain requirements. Those requirements are that Embarcadero (i) provide NASDAQ with specified information regarding the results of the Special Committee's review on or about March 1, 2007 (which information was provided by Embarcadero to NASDAQ on March 1, 2007), (ii) file the Third Quarter Form 10-Q, any other delinquent periodic reports, and any required restatements on or before April 18, 2007, and (iii) comply with all other requirements for continued listing on NASDAQ. The Special Committee's review is now substantially complete.
The current NASDAQ notice requests that Embarcadero make a new submission to the Panel. Accordingly, Embarcadero intends to provide the Panel with a submission describing its efforts to file the Form 10-K on or before the April 18 deadline. There can be no assurance that Embarcadero will be able to satisfy the Panel's conditions described above within the prescribed deadlines. In the event that Embarcadero is unable to comply with these conditions, Embarcadero's securities may be delisted.
