Apparel company Hampshire Group Limited previously announced that it would defer filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 1st 2006 with the SEC in order to allow the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors to complete its previously announced independent investigation and for Hampshire to evaluate its findings.
Failure to timely file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC has resulted in noncompliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14).
On August 14th 2006, Hampshire received a Staff Determination from The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that, due to its noncompliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14), Hampshire's common stock is subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Global Market.
Hampshire has requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to review the Staff Determination. Hampshire expects that this request for a hearing will stay the delisting of its common stock. There can be no assurance that the Listing Qualifications Panel will grant Hampshire's request for continued listing.
Hampshire Group Limited, is a diversified apparel company, believed to be the largest supplier of women's and men's sweaters in North America and a leading supplier of women's related separates.
