TERMINATION OF MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On June 28, 2019, the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement dated June 18, 2009 between Northwest Pipe Company (the "Company") and Mellon Investor Services LLC as Rights Agent (succeeded by Computershare Trust Company, N.A. as Rights Agent) (the "Rights Agreement") expired in accordance with its terms and is of no further force or effect. The Preferred Stock Purchase Rights distributed to holders of the Company's common stock pursuant to the Rights Agreement expired upon the expiration of the Rights Agreement.
Item 3.01
NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING
On July 3, 2019, the Company notified the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2) requiring the Company to have an Audit Committee comprised of at least three independent directors. The Company's noncompliance with this listing rule resulted from Harry Demorest's retirement from the Company's Board of Directors (including as a member of the Board's Audit Committee) on June 20, 2019.
Consequently, on July 3, 2019 the Company received a written notification (the "Notice") from Nasdaq that, as a result of Mr. Demorest's retirement, the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq's audit committee requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605. The Notice confirms that, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4)(B), the Company will be provided with a cure period to regain compliance as follows:
●
until the earlier of the Company's next annual shareholders' meeting or June 20, 2020; or
●
if the next annual shareholders' meeting is held before December 17, 2019, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than December 17, 2019.
The Company's Board of Directors is currently working to identify candidates to replace Mr. Demorest and to appoint a director and Audit Committee member who satisfies the independence and other relevant Audit Committee requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules prior to the expiration of the applicable cure period.
Item 3.03.
