On April 5, 2005, Digimarc Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its anticipated 2004 financial results and anticipated effect of restatements of prior period financial statements.   The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

The Company has not yet filed its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2004, which were required to be filed by March 31, 2005 in order to meet the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel’s (the “Nasdaq Panel”) filing deadline set forth in its decision on March 22, 2005 to provide the Company additional time to file both the Company’s Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2004 and the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, including all required restatements of prior period financial results.  Although the Company currently expects to file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2004 within the next several days, there can be no assurance that the Company will file either of the Form 10-K or the Form 10-Q in a manner that permits continued listing by Nasdaq.

 

In connection with filing the Form 10-K and the Form 10-Q, the Company intends to request that the Nasdaq Panel continue the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq National Market.  There can be no assurance that the Nasdaq Panel will grant the Company’s request, or that the Company’s common stock will remain listed on the Nasdaq National Market.  The Company issued a press release on April 5, 2005 with respect to certain matters, including the status of the Nasdaq delisting proceeding.  The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1and incorporated herein by reference.
