On October 19, 2009, Radio One, Inc. (the "Company") reported that it had received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market advising it that the Company's Class D, shares traded under the symbol ROIAK, had regained compliance with NASDAQ's minimum bid price listing requirements and were in good standing on The NASDAQ Global Market. Previously, on October 20, 2008, Radio One had received a notice of deficiency with respect to the Class D shares from NASDAQ notifying the Company that for the 30 consecutive business days preceding the date of the letter, the bid price of the Company's common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum bid price required for continued listing, and that the Class D shares had 180 days to regain compliance by meeting or exceeding the minimum bid price for a period of at least 10 consecutive trading days. Enforcement of the rules had been suspended by NASDAQ until August 3, 2009 due to the economic environment. The letter received from NASDAQ on October 15, 2009 stated that because the Class D shares closed above the $1.00 minimum bid price for the 10 consecutive trading days ended October 14, 2009, the Company had regained compliance and the matter was now closed. Nasdaq also confirmed that the Company's Class A shares, traded under the symbol ROIA on The NASDAQ Capital Market, were in compliance with The NASDAQ Stock Market's continued listing rules. Shares of ROIA and ROIAK common stock closed on October 16, 2009 at $1.85 and $1.66 per share, respectively.
