Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing Departure
As previously disclosed in Viewpoint Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 5, 2006, Mr. James E. Crabbe resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors and committees of the Board, including the audit committee and compensation committee, effective May 2, 2006. On May 10, 2006, the Board of Directors appointed Harvey D. Weatherson, Non-Executive Chairman of the Board and a current independent director to fill the vacancy on the audit committee effective immediately.
On May 10, 2006, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that as a result of the resignation of Mr. Crabbe, the Company failed to comply with the provisions of NASD Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2), which requires the Company to have an audit committee of at least three independent directors as defined by the NASD rules. Consistent with NASD Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(4), the Company had a cure period until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting, or May 2, 2007, in order to regain compliance and avoid delisting of the Company’s stock. The letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market provided that the Company had regained compliance with NASD Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2) by appointing Mr. Weatherson to the audit committee.
