Allion Healthcare Receives NASDAQ Letter on Director Resignation (ALLI) 15.19 -0.20 : The Co announces that in connection with the previously announced resignation of James Hoover as a director, ALLI has received a NASDAQ Staff Deficiency letter dated January 19, 2006 from the NASDAQ confirming that the Co is not in compliance with the continued listing requirements for the NASDAQ National Market System set forth in Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2). As the Co has previously reported, that rule requires the Co's Audit Committee to consist of three independent members, and as a result of Mr. Hoover's resignation, the Co's Audit Committee consists of two independent members. Consistent with Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(4), and as confirmed by the NASDAQ letter, the Co has until the earlier of its annual shareholders' meeting or January 18, 2007 to name a third independent director as a member of the Audit Committee so that the Co regains compliance with the requirements of Rule 4350(d)(2).
