Rambus Gets Delisting Notice
By
Rambus missed its filing deadline due to a stock option review, earning it a delisting notification from the Nasdaq. The Los Altos, Calif., chipmaker was notified by Nasdaq Wednesday that it is in violation of listing guidelines. This is big news for a company who has been doing very well in the stock market at the start of 2006.
The company has said that a “significant number” of stock options granted from 1998 to 2001 were misdated and that it would have to restate its results and take charges of more than $200 million. The options practices in question came during a time when former CEO Geoff Tate ran the company and served on the stock option committee. Tate resigned from the company’s board in August.
