Alvarion (in Interim Liquidation and Receivership) Receives Additional NASDAQ Notification Related to Failure to Hold Annual General Meeting and File Interim Financial Statements

ROSH HA'AYIN, Israel, Jan. 9, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alvarion^® Ltd. (in interim liquidation and receivership) ALVR (the "Company") announced today that it has received notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") indicating that the Company's failure to solicit proxies and to hold an annual meeting of shareholders for fiscal year 2013, as required by NASDAQ Listing Rules 5620(a) and 5620(b), and its failure to file a Form 6-K containing interim financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2013, as required by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(2), may serve as additional bases for the delisting of the Company's securities from NASDAQ. The Company has been provided with the opportunity to present its plan to evidence compliance with those requirements for review by the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel") and intends to timely do so.

The Panel previously granted the Company's request for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market through January 13, 2014. In order to remain listed on NASDAQ, on or before January 13, 2014, the Company must emerge from bankruptcy proceedings in Israel and demonstrate compliance with all applicable requirements for initial listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market, including evidencing a stock price of at least $3.00 per share. In the event the Company does not satisfy the terms of the Panel's decision by January 13, 2014, the Panel is expected to issue a determination to delist the Company's shares from NASDAQ.  

In addition, the Company has been previously notified by NASDAQ that its closing bid price has been less than $1.00 per ordinary share for 30 consecutive business days and that it therefore does not satisfy NASDAQ's minimum bid requirement of $1.00 per share necessary for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market.
