WOOD DALE, Ill., March 29, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Power Solutions International, Inc. ("the Company") (Nasdaq:PSIX), a leader in the design, engineer and manufacture of emissions-certified, alternative-fuel power systems, announced that on March 23, 2017, the Company received an additional notice from the Staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") based upon the Company's continued non-compliance with the filing requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Specifically, the letter stated that since the Company has not yet filed its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, this matter serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from The NASDAQ Stock Market.
As previously disclosed, the Company requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), which was held on March 9, 2017. At this hearing, the Company requested an automatic stay of suspension in trading in the Company’s common stock, which was granted pending the issuance of a final Panel decision. The Company also shared its plan to evidence full compliance with Nasdaq's filing requirement and requested an extension of time to do so. The Panel has the discretion to grant the Company an extension through August 7, 2017; however, there can be no assurance that the Panel will ultimately grant the Company's request for continued listing on Nasdaq.
