As previously disclosed, in April 2017, Netlist, Inc. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), notifying the Company that it no longer met NASDAQ’s requirements for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”) because, for a period of 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company’s common stock had not closed at or above the minimum of $1.00 per share.
 
On May 2, 2017, the Company received a compliance letter from NASDAQ notifying the Company that, as a result of its common stock attaining a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for the 10 consecutive trading days ended May 1, 2017, it has regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule. As a result, the Company’s common stock continues to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol NLST.
