Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On August 21, 2009, FreightCar America, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that, due to the delayed filing of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company has received, as expected, a notification letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires timely filing of SEC periodic reports. The notification letter was received on August 19, 2009.
The Company previously announced that it had identified historical accounting errors in accounts payable that have resulted in the understatement of its net earnings since the fourth quarter of 2007. Because of the nature and timing of the review of these errors by the Company and their impact on its consolidated financial statements, the Company was unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 by the prescribed due date. The Company expects to complete its review and make the required filings during the third quarter of 2009, including restatement of certain of its consolidated financial statements for prior periods.
The Company has until October 19, 2009 to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules. The Company intends to submit a plan to regain compliance within this 60-day period. If Nasdaq accepts FreightCar’s plan, FreightCar will have up to 180 calendar days from the filing’s due date, or until February 8, 2010, to regain compliance.
A copy of the Company’s press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
