Park Bancorp, Inc. Receives Nasdaq Notice of Non-Compliance with Minimum Market Value Requirement
Business Wire
Park Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: PFED)(the “Company”) today announced that it
had received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on
November 6, 2009 providing notice that, for the last 30 consecutive
trading days, the Company’s common stock had not maintained a minimum
market value of publicly held shares (“MVPHS”) of at least $5 million as
required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market by Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(C). For Nasdaq purposes, MVPHS is the market
value of the Company’s publicly held shares, and is calculated by
subtracting all shares held by officers, directors or beneficial owners
of 10% or more of the total shares outstanding. Such notification has no
effect on the listing of the Company’s shares at this time.
Nasdaq has provided the Company 90 calendar days, or until February 4,
2010, to regain compliance with its rules. If, at any time before
February 4, 2010, the MVPHS is at least $5 million for a minimum of 10
consecutive trading days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that
the Company has achieved compliance with Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(C) and
the Company’s shares will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market.
No guarantee exists that the Company will be able to regain compliance
with this listing rule. The Company may elect to transfer its securities
to the Nasdaq Capital Market, which has a reduced MVPHS requirement, if
it satisfies the requirement for continued inclusion in that market.
David Remijas, Chairman of the Company, noted that, “The trading price
of the Company’s common stock, as well as that of many other bank
holding companies, has traded at historically low price to book value
ratios during the recent months. The Company remains well-capitalized
and intends to actively monitor the market value for its common stock
between now and February 4, 2010. We will consider available options,
including application for listing in the Nasdaq Capital Market, if we
can satisfy the requirements for initial listing, if necessary.”
COMPANY INFORMATION

Bank, a federally chartered savings bank with four full service offices
located in Chicago and Westmont, Illinois. The Company’s headquarters
