Company Has Requested a Hearing and Common Stock Listing Continues Pending Hearing OutcomeSEATTLE, WA, Apr 10, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- Cray Inc. (NASDAQ: CRAY) today announced that it received a notice
from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market
on April 7, 2006 stating that the Company was not in compliance with
the requirements of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14), due to
Cray's failure to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2005, on a timely basis.
Cray has requested a hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications
Panel to seek continued listing on The Nasdaq National Market until
the Company files its Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2005.
On March 31, 2006, Cray announced that it would delay the filing of
its 2005 Form 10-K pending the completion of a review of a non-cash
item in 2004 of $3.3 million that could result in an adjustment to
its 2004 financial statements. The Company currently does not have an
anticipated date of filing for the annual report, but continues to
work as expeditiously as possible with the external auditors to
complete the review.
