Company Also Receives Expected Nasdaq Notice Related to Delay in 10-Q Filing
Logitech International (SIX: LOGN) (Nasdaq: LOGI) today announced two
procedural steps related to the delay in filing its FY 2014 10-K and Q1
FY 2015 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
First, the Company has been granted an exception by Nasdaq, extending
the deadline to October 15, 2014 for complying with Listing Rule
5250(c)(1) by filing its 10-K and 10-Q. The exception was granted by
Nasdaq based on a compliance plan submitted by Logitech in response to a
previously announced Nasdaq request.
Second, as expected, Nasdaq issued a non-compliance notice regarding
Logitech’s delay in filing its 10-Q for the first quarter of FY 2015.
The Q1 filing cannot be completed until the 10-K is filed. This notice
also relates to Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires the timely
filing of these reports with the SEC. Nasdaq also requested an update to
Logitech’s original compliance plan.
The Nasdaq notices have no immediate effect on the listing or trading of
Logitech’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Logitech is
working to complete and file both the 10-K and the 10-Q as soon as
possible prior to the Nasdaq deadline of October 15, 2014, following the
completion of an investigation of certain accounting matters related the
Company’s previously issued financial statements and additional work
necessary to file the 10-K and the 10-Q.
