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

 

On June 9, 2011, Vital Images, Inc. (“the Company”) notified The NASDAQ Stock Market that the Company was not in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors to consist of at least three directors meeting the independence criteria and having the qualifications set forth in the NASDAQ Listing Rules.  The Company is relying on the cure period provided by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(c)(4)(B) for its non-compliance.  On June 10, 2011, the Company received a notice of delisting from The NASDAQ Stock Market relating to the Company’s non-compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A).  Prior to the end of the applicable cure period, the Company anticipates that it will request that The NASDAQ Stock Market file a delisting application with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the consummation of the merger contemplated by the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) between the Company, Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation (“TMSC”) and Magenta Corporation.  The Company therefore does not intend to take any action to remedy its non-compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.  The Company’s non-compliance was triggered in connection with the completion of the initial offering period for the tender offer contemplated by the Merger Agreement, at which time TMSC appointed six non-independent directors to the Company’s board of directors and all of the previous members of the Company’s board of directors resigned other than Sven Wehrwein and James Hickey.
