Hauppauge Digital Inc. Secures Continued NASDAQ Listing
Hauppauge Digital Inc. has overcome a challenging period, securing its continued listing on The NASDAQ Stock Market after a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel approved the company's request. The decision comes after Hauppauge Digital incurred a delisting notice in October 2009 due to a failure to timely hold its annual meeting. However, following a presentation to the panel on November 12, 2009, the company presented a plan to regain compliance. The company subsequently held its annual meeting on December 9, 2009, and the panel made its determination to continue the listing on December 10, 2009.
