On August
24, 2010, Rurban Financial Corp. (“Rurban”) received a deficiency letter (the
“Deficiency Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ
Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) stating that, due to Rurban’s inability to timely
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010 (the “Form 10-Q”), Rurban was
no longer in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing
Rule”).
The
Deficiency Letter indicated that Rurban has 60 calendar days, or until October
25, 2010, to submit a plan to NASDAQ to regain compliance with the Listing
Rule. If the plan submitted by Rurban is accepted, NASDAQ can grant
Rurban an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the Form 10-Q’s due date, or
until February 21, 2011, to regain compliance with the Listing
Rule.
Rurban
continues to work with its registered public accounting firm to perform
necessary reconciliations and related reviews with respect to Rurban’s condensed
consolidated financial statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010,
and Rurban intends to file the Form 10-Q as soon as this process is
completed.
Rurban
issued a press release on August 30, 2010 disclosing its receipt of the
Deficiency Letter. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as
Exhibit 99.1.
