Item 8.01. Other Events

 

On June 9, 2005, Viisage Technology, Inc. issued a press release announcing that a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel had granted the Company’s request for continued listing on The NASDAQ National Market as long as the Company files on or before June 30, 2005, its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, and its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2005. If the Company is unable to comply with the conditions for continued listing required by the NASDAQ Panel, then the Company’s common stock may be delisted from The NASDAQ National Market. While the Company is working diligently toward meeting the June 30, 2005, deadline, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet this deadline. If the Company becomes concerned for any reason that it will be unable to meet the deadline, the Company intends to request additional time from the NASDAQ Panel. There can be no assurance that the NASDAQ Panel will extend the deadline beyond June 30.

 

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
