Item 3.01                      Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On May 25, 2010, First Chester County Corporation received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market notifying us that because the Company has not filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2010, and because the Company remains delinquent in filing its Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2009 (the “Initial Delinquent Filing”), the Company does not comply with its obligation to file periodic financial reports for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). This notification has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

As provided under Nasdaq rules, the Company has 60 calendar days from the date of the Nasdaq deficiency letter relating to the Initial Delinquent Filing, or until June 1, 2010, to provide Nasdaq with a plan to regain compliance with the continued listing requirement. The Company intends to submit a plan to Nasdaq on or before the deadline. If Nasdaq accepts the plan, of which there can be no assurance, Nasdaq may grant the Company up to 180 days, or until September 13, 2010, to achieve and sustain compliance. If Nasdaq determines that the plan is not sufficient, it will provide written notice that the Company’s common stock would be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. At that time, the Company may request a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel. In that event, the Company’s common stock would remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market pending a final determination by the panel.
