Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On August 12, 2005, PECO II, Inc. (the “Company”) notified The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(1) due to the vacancy created by the resignation of Dr. Lucille G. Ford as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(1) states that a majority of the board of directors of a Nasdaq issuer must be comprised of independent directors (as defined by Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15)). After the resignation of Dr. Ford, the Board of Directors of the Company now has ten members, of which five are currently deemed to be independent directors. Consequently, the Company is in the process of searching for a new candidate to serve on its Board of Directors who meets the definition of an independent director.
The Company has a cure period under Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(1) until the earlier of the Company’s next annual meeting or August 10, 2006, to comply with the requirements 4350(c)(1).
