Register.com Receives Notice from Nasdaq Regarding Potential Delisting
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 2005--Register.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: RCOM) announced today that on May 18, 2005, it received notice from staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the Company's shares of common stock are subject to potential delisting from the Nasdaq National Market for failing to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 in a timely fashion, as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). The notice from Nasdaq also stated that as of the opening of business on May 20, 2005, the trading symbol for Register.com's common stock will be changed from "RCOM" to "RCOME". Receipt of the notice does not result in immediate delisting of the Company's common stock. Register.com issued a press release and filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2005 describing the reasons for the delay of its Form 10-Q filing.
The Nasdaq staff stated in the notice that, unless Register.com requests a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel by May 25, 2005, the Company's securities will be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market at the opening of business on May 27, 2005. Register.com expects to make a timely request for a hearing before a Nasdaq Panel to appeal the Nasdaq Staff's determination and to request continued listing. This request will postpone a delisting pending the hearing and a written determination by the Nasdaq Panel. There can be no assurance that the Nasdaq Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing.
As previously disclosed in Register.com's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company's remediation of certain material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, which include temporary manual controls and procedures, require extensive and time consuming manual processing. Similar manual processing was required in connection with the preparation of the Company's financial statements included in its Form 10-Q. Further, the Company devoted substantial resources towards the completion of its Form 10-K until its filing on May 4, 2005. These efforts delayed the commencement of work on the financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. As a result of the additional work and delayed start, the Company's Form 10-Q could not be filed by May 10, 2005.
As previously disclosed in its May 11, 2005 Form 8-K, the Company is working to complete and file its Form 10-Q by the end of May, which would return the Company to compliance with Nasdaq National Market rules. The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will meet this target timeframe. If the Form 10-Q is filed within this time period, it is likely to be prior to the Nasdaq Panel hearing.
