Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On July 22, 2015, we were notified by the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that the average closing price of our common stock had fallen below $1.00 per share over a period of 30 consecutive trading days, which is the minimum average share price for continued listing on the NYSE under the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

 

Under NYSE rules, we have six months following receipt of the notification, subject to possible extension, to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement or be subject to delisting.  We can also regain compliance at any time during the six-month cure period if our common stock has a closing share price of at least $1.00 on the last trading day of any calendar month during the period and also has an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30-trading day period ending on the last trading day of that month.

 

The notice has no immediate impact on the listing of our common stock, which will continue to trade on the NYSE under the symbol “DDE” but will be assigned a “.BC” indicator by the NYSE to signify that we are not currently in compliance with NYSE continued listing standards.

 

We have 10 business days to notify the NYSE of our intent to cure this deficiency.  We intend to so notify the NYSE on a timely basis.

 

We will monitor the price for our common stock and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the NYSE listing standards.

 

If our common stock ultimately were to be delisted for any reason, it could reduce the liquidity and market price of our common stock and negatively impact our ability to access the public capital markets.

 

As required under NYSE rules, we issued a press release on July 23, 2015, announcing that we had received the notice of noncompliance.  A copy of this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
