As Catuity has disclosed in previous filings and announcements, on November 4, 2004, Nasdaq notified Catuity of Nasdaq's intent to de-list the Company because it had failed to trade for 10 consecutive days above Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price during the 180 day compliance period provided by Nasdaq for its listed companies to regain compliance. Catuity appealed the determination because, on November 1, 2004, the Company had received shareholder approval for a reverse stock split and the Board of Directors had immediately authorized a 1 share for 15 shares reverse stock split on the first day it was legally possible to do so (November 12, 2004), to rectify the on-going listing problem. The hearing was scheduled for December 9, 2004. By November 29, 2004 Catuity had traded on Nasdaq for 10 consecutive days considerably above Nasdaq's minimum bid price and the Company prepared a written request to Nasdaq that the Company be deemed to be in full compliance and the hearing deemed moot.
