Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On August 29, 2008, Steven Madden, Ltd. (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”), pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4803(a), announcing that due to the resignation of Walter Yetnikoff on August 11, 2008 as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and Audit Committee of the Board, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on August 26, 2008 indicating that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s independent director and audit committee requirements as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4350.
Nasdaq has provided the Company with a cure period to regain compliance until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or August 8, 2009; provided, however, that if the Company holds its annual shareholders’ meeting before February 4, 2009, it must evidence compliance by February 4, 2009. The Company is undertaking a search for a suitable candidate to serve as an independent director and independent audit committee member, and fully expects to regain compliance prior to the end of the cure period.
A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
