Novatel Wireless to Transfer to Nasdaq SmallCap Market
April 7, 2003
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA – April 7, 2003 – Novatel Wireless, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVTL), a leading provider of wireless data access solutions, today announced that it will transfer the listing of its common shares to The Nasdaq SmallCap Market from The Nasdaq National Market. The Company’s common shares will be transferred to The Nasdaq SmallCap Market effective at the opening of trading on Tuesday, April 8, 2003, and will continue to trade under the symbol “NVTL.”
The Nasdaq SmallCap Market is fully automated, and provides real-time trade reporting and a marketplace for more than 800 companies. The Company is transferring to The Nasdaq SmallCap Market as it had not met Nasdaq's $10 million minimum stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing on the National Market on December 31, 2002. Novatel Wireless announced on March 13, 2003 a $6.7 million financing which will bolster the Company’s balance sheet, subject to, among other things, shareholder approval on April 30, 2003.
"We believe that we will continue to trade efficiently under the same symbol, with quotes available from the same sources on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market,” said Peter Leparulo, Chief Executive Officer of Novatel Wireless. “With focused management, growing margins and a streamlined business model, we will continue to focus on reaching break-even cash flows in the second half of 2003 and expect our financing, once completed, will provide us with all the capital we need to reach this goal.”
