Item 3.01
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
 
 
      (a)        On October 24, 2008, Circuit City Stores, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) that the Company did not satisfy one of the Exchange’s standards for continued listing applicable to its common stock.  The Exchange noted specifically that the Company was “below criteria” for the Exchange’s price criteria for common stock because the average closing price of the Company’s common stock was less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30-trading-day period as of October 22, 2008.  The Exchange’s price criteria standard requires that any listed security trade at a minimum average closing share price of $1.00 during any consecutive 30-trading-day period.

Under the Exchange’s rules, in order to cure the deficiency for this continued listing standard, the Company’s common stock share price and the average share price over a consecutive 30-trading-day period must both exceed $1.00 by six months following receipt of the non-compliance notice.  The Company has not yet determined the specific action or response in response to the Exchange’s notice.
