On March 10, 2017, Tangoe, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Delisting Notice”) from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) stating that the Panel had determined to delist the shares of the Company’s common stock from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) for its failure to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”). The Listing Rule requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). In accordance with the Panel’s decision, trading of the Company’s shares on The Nasdaq Global Select Market has been suspended as of the open of business on Tuesday, March 14, 2017.
The Company may request in writing that the Nasdaq Listing and Hearings Review Council review the Panel’s decision. If the Company were to request such a review, its request must be received within fifteen days from the date of the Delisting Notice, and it would be required to submit a fee to cover the cost of the review. The Company does not intend to request an appeal of the delisting determination.
As previously disclosed, on November 9, 2016, the Panel determined to continue the Company’s common stock listing until March 10, 2017 to provide the Company the opportunity to regain compliance with the Listing Rule by such date. Also as previously disclosed, following a determination by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) that it was unlikely that the Company would be able to complete its ongoing restatement of its financial statements by March 10, 2017, the Company informed Nasdaq on December 30, 2016 and publicly disclosed that it was unlikely to regain compliance with the Listing Rule by March 10, 2017. In January 2017, the Company also received a deficiency letter from Nasdaq regarding its non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) for its failure to hold an annual meeting of stockholders no later than December 31, 2016.
Since the suspension of trading of Tangoe’s common stock from Nasdaq, the Company’s stock has been trading on the OTC Markets Group Inc. under the ticker TNGO.
On March 16, 2017, the Company announced that it intends to file a Form 25 (Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) with the Commission on March 27, 2017 to delist its common stock from Nasdaq and to deregister its common stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On March 16, 2017, the Company provided notice to Nasdaq of the Company’s intention to file the Form 25.
The Company expects delisting and deregistration to become effective ten days and ninety days, respectively, after it files its Form 25.
