Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel Extends Deadline for Delisting
Clarus Securities STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- Clarus Corporation (NASDAQ:CLRS) today announced that Nasdaq had
notified the Company on September 1, 2004, of the Nasdaq Listing
Qualifications Panel's (the "Panel") decision that the Company's
securities would remain listed on the Nasdaq National Market
provided the Company meets certain conditions set forth in the
Panel's decision. The decision follows the Company's appeal to the
Panel of the previously disclosed determination of the Nasdaq
Listing Qualification Staff (the "Staff") that, based upon the
Staff's discretionary authority granted by Nasdaq Marketplace Rules
4300 and 4330(a)(3), the Company's securities would be delisted on
July 1, 2004, unless the Company appealed the Staff's decision.
Following a hearing on July 29, 2004, and a review of the record,
the Panel has determined that the Company may remain listed on
Nasdaq provided that, among other requirements, on or before
September 8, 2004, the Company submits to Nasdaq a copy of a
definitive agreement for the acquisition of an operating entity and
consummates the acquisition on or before September 15, 2004. While
the Panel believed the Company is a "public shell," the Panel
acknowledged "the Company's plan to acquire an operating business
within the very near term, which [the Panel] believed would
alleviate those concerns associated with the continued listing of
public shells on [Nasdaq]." "While we are pleased with the Panel's
decision not to immediately delist the Company's securities, the
Company believes that the deadlines imposed by the Panel to sign
and consummate an acquisition are impractical and not in the best
interest of the Company's shareholders," said Warren B. Kanders,
the Company's Executive Chairman of the Board. "The Company
therefore intends to formally request the Panel to extend those
dates to enable the Company to negotiate and complete a transaction
in an appropriate time frame. The Company has been and continues to
actively seek to effectively redeploy the Company's assets and use
its substantial cash and net operating loss carry- forwards to
enhance stockholder value through consummation of a significant
acquisition transaction," continued Mr. Kanders. However, there is
no assurance that the Panel will agree to the Company's request. In
the event the Company's securities are delisted, if and when a
suitable transaction is consummated, the Company intends to list
its securities on an appropriate national exchange. This press
release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Information in this release includes Clarus' beliefs, expectations,
intentions and strategies regarding Clarus and its future.
Assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements involve
judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic,
competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions
all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and
many of which are beyond our control. Actual results could differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements
as a result of certain risks including our inability to execute
successfully our planned effort to redeploy our assets to enhance
stockholder value. All forward-looking statements contained in this
release are based on information available to Clarus as of the date
of this release and Clarus assumes no obligation to update the
