KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC) today announced that it received a
letter of reprimand from the Listing Qualifications Staff of the NASDAQ
Stock Market for non-compliance with the majority independent board and
solely independent audit nominating and compensation committee
requirements set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605. The Staff notified
the company that it has completed its review and deemed it appropriate
to close the matter, based in part upon the prompt corrective actions
taken by the company after discovering and notifying NASDAQ about the
compliance issues.
On April 30, 2009, InterDigital(R) announced in a Form 8-K that
it had self-reported to NASDAQ its non-compliance with Listing Rule 5605
and had made changes to its Board of Directors and related committee
assignments to restore compliance with the rule.
In reaching its determination to close the matters by issuing the letter
of reprimand, the Staff considered, among other things, that the company
"has not demonstrated a pattern of non-compliance." The Staff also noted
that "once this compliance issue was discovered by the [c]ompany, it was
cured in a prompt and effective manner" and that, based on discussions
with the company, the Staff believes that the company "inadvertently
violated the Listing Rules."
