Egghead.com Drops Nasdaq Delisting Appeal
Remains in Business During Chapter 11 Process
MENLO PARK, Calif., Aug. 22 --
Egghead.com(R), Inc. (Nasdaq: EGGSQ) today announced that it has notified
Nasdaq that the Company has withdrawn its request for a hearing to appeal the
Nasdaq staff determination to delist the Company`s common stock. The Company
also announced that it would not pursue the reverse split action approved by
its Board of Directors in June. Following its delisting as a Nasdaq National
Market security, the Company does not expect its common stock to be traded on
the OTC bulletin board.
"With our sale of assets to Fry`s Electronics pending Bankruptcy Court
approval, the Egghead.com site remains active; however, at the conclusion of
this process, the company will no longer exist as a public entity," said Jeff
Sheahan, president and CEO of Egghead.com. "As a result, there is no reason
to appeal the delisting."
