NASDAQ Hearings Panel Denies SmartHeat Appeal of NASDAQ
SmartHeat Inc., (NASDAQ: HEAT; website: www.smartheatinc.com) received
notification from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Hearings Panel that it
affirmed the determination made by the staff of the NASDAQ's Listing
Qualifications Department to delist the company's shares of common stock
from the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ"). As a result, the company's shares
of common stock, which were subject to a trading halt since May 30, 2012,
have been suspended from the NASDAQ Stock Market effective at the open of
business on Friday, November 9, 2012. The company anticipates that its
shares of common stock will be eligible for quotation on the OTCQB.
On May 30, 2012, NASDAQ halted trading in shares of the company's common
stock pending NASDAQ's request for additional information from the company
with respect to the restructuring of our board and management and our entry
into a secured revolving credit facility. We provided NASDAQ with
additional information and clarification with respect to these matters, our
business operations and financial condition, as requested.
On August 23, 2012, the company received a notice which stated that "the
staff has determined to apply more stringent criteria," to the company and,
accordingly, to delist the company's securities pursuant to the staff's
broad discretionary authority under Listing Rule 5101. The staff in its
letter stated that it has concerns "regarding the company's solvency,
viability, operational structure and suitability for listing."
The company strongly disagrees with the delisting determination made by
NASDAQ's staff and the panel. The company intends to file an appeal of the
panel's determination with the NASDAQ Listing and Hearing Review Council.
The appeal will not stay the suspension set for November 9, 2012.
The company's board of directors urges its stockholders to vote "FOR" all of
the proposals to be voted on at the company's annual meeting to be held in
Hong Kong on December 11, 2012, demonstrating their support of the company
in its appeal with the listing council. For further information regarding
the proposals to be voted on at the annual meeting, please consult our
definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on October 26, 2012, and available at http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1384135/000118518512002316/smartheat-def14a102512.htm and at www.smartheatinc.com.
