BARCELONA, Spain, April 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Private Media
Group, Inc.(NASDAQ: PRVT) a worldwide leader in premium-quality
adult entertainment products, today announced that on April 18, 2011, the Company received a letter
from The NASDAQ Stock Market stating that because the Company
failed to file its Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2010, on or before its due date,
April 15, 2011, it is not in
compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Rule"),
which requires that a listed company timely file periodic financial
reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a
condition to the continued listing of its securities. The NASDAQ
letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's
Common Stock.
Under the NASDAQ Listing Rules the Company has until
June 17, 2011, to submit a Plan to
regain compliance with the Rule. If the Plan is accepted by NASDAQ,
it has the authority to grant an exception to the Rule for up to
180 calendar days from the Filing's due date, October 12, 2011, to regain compliance with the
Rule by filing any past due periodic SEC filings. In determining
whether to accept the Plan, NASDAQ will consider such things as the
likelihood that the Form 10-K, along with any subsequent periodic
filing that becomes due, can be made within the 180-day period, the
Company's past compliance history, the reasons for the late filing
of the Form 10-K, other corporate events that may occur within our
review period, the Company's overall financial condition and its
public disclosures.
The Company is finalizing the Form 10-K and intends to complete
its filing within the next 10 days, and in any event prior to the
expiration of the 60-day period in which to submit a Plan.
