HOLLYWOOD, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- June 29, 2006 -- Concord Camera Corp. ("Concord" or "Company") (NASDAQ: LENS) announced today that on June 26, 2006, it received a Nasdaq Staff Deficiency Letter indicating that for 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company's common stock closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion under Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) (the "Rule").
In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(2), the Company will be provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until December 26, 2006, to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement. If the bid price of the Company's common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days before December 26, 2006, the Company will achieve compliance with the Rule.
If the Company's common stock does not achieve compliance with the Rule by December 26, 2006, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq's determination to delist its common stock. Alternatively, the Company may elect to apply to transfer its common stock from the Nasdaq National Market, where it is currently listed, to the Nasdaq Capital Market if it satisfies all requirements, except for the $1.00 bid price requirement, for initial inclusion in this market as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c). If its application to transfer its common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market is approved, the Company will be afforded an additional 180 calendar day period to regain compliance while listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
