Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
     On March 9, 2009, PlanetOut Inc. (“PlanetOut” or the “Company”) received a notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market stating that based on PlanetOut’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, the Nasdaq staff had concluded that PlanetOut’s stockholders’ equity was less than the $10 million minimum required for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global Market under Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(3) (the “Rule”).
     The notice further states that PlanetOut will be provided with 15 days, through March 24, 2009, within which to provide the Nasdaq staff with a definitive plan to regain compliance with the Rule. If the Nasdaq staff accepts PlanetOut’s plan, the staff may grant PlanetOut an exception of up to 105 calendar days within which to regain compliance pursuant to its plan. If the Nasdaq staff does not accept PlanetOut’s plan, PlanetOut will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Listings Qualification Panel. The notice also states that rather than submitting a plan to regain compliance, PlanetOut may instead apply to transfer its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market if PlanetOut satisfies inclusion requirements for that market and submits its transfer application no later than March 24, 2009.
     PlanetOut currently intends to submit an application to transfer its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market.
     A press release announcing the receipt of the above notice, as required by Marketplace Rule 4803(a), is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
