Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
Kopin Corporation issued a press release on May 19, 2008, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated herein by this reference, in which it announced that on May 16, 2008 it received a NASDAQ Staff Determination letter indicating that the company is not in compliance with the NASDAQ continued listing requirements set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) because it did not timely filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 29, 2008.
Kopin has delayed the filing of its Form 10-Q pending review of a recently filed Request for Mediation made by a customer of the Company. In the Request for Mediation, the customer, a privately held company based in the European Union, makes claims relating to certain representations and actions of an employee of a subsidiary of Kopin. Kopin is currently conducting an investigation relating to claims made in such Request for Mediation.
In the press release, Kopin said its common stock is subject to delisting at the opening of business on May 28, 2008, unless the Company requests a hearing in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Kopin intends to request a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to appeal the Nasdaq’s Staff determination, which will stay the delisting until the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel has reached a decision. However, there can be no assurance that the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing of its common stock.
