InfoUSA to Keep its Nasdaq Listing

InfoUSA, Omaha, NE, will keep its listing on the Nasdaq National Market.

As of May 1, the Securities and Exchange Commission agreed to replace Nasdaq’s previous $4 million net tangible assets standard with a $10 million shareholders equity standard as the requirement for compliance under one of its two listing standards. Additionally, the previous minimum bid price requirement for another listing standard was lowered, from $5 to $3 per share.

InfoUSA’s stock closed at $5.15 yesterday.

In order to be granted continued listing, Nasdaq requires that a company meet either one of the two standards. In making its determination for infoUSA’s continued listing, the Nasdaq panel noted that infoUSA exceeds the requirements for both Standard 1 and Standard 2.

InfoUSA will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange through June 14, according to a decision from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel. The ruling comes after an oral hearing InfoUSA made in March.

Nasdaq had informed the Omaha, NE-based business and consumer information products and services provider was in danger of delisting after its stock price fell below a per-share price of $5 for three consecutive months.

InfoUSA maintained that it remained eligible under a separate set of listing guidelines, which allowed for a lower stock price if the company demonstrated a higher level of net tangible assets. InfoUSA argued that its database assets had been undervalued in Nasdaq
