10 days above a dollar....

On September 13, 2011, Pacific Ethanol, Inc. (the "Company") received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market ("Nasdaq") indicating that the bid price of the Company's common stock for the last 30 consecutive business days had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until March 12, 2012, to regain compliance. The letter states that the Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) if at any time before March 12, 2012, the bid price of the Company's common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. Notwithstanding the minimum 10 consecutive business day requirement, the Nasdaq staff may exercise its discretion to extend the 10 day period as discussed in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(F).
