Saba Receives NASDAQ Non-Compliance Letter

Saba SABA, the premier provider of people-centric enterprise solutions, today announced that, as expected, it received a letter (the “NASDAQ Letter”) from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) stating that unless the Company requests a hearing before the NASDAQ Hearing Panel that the Company's common stock is subject to delisting from NASDAQ for noncompliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “filing requirement”) with respect to its failure to file on a timely basis its Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2012 (“Third Quarter Form 10-Q”) and its Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 (“Form 10-K”). The Company announced on October 4, 2012 that it will not be able to file its Third Quarter Form 10-Q and Form 10-K prior to the October 8, 2012 extended filing deadline previously established by the Staff, and that it will not be able to file on a timely basis its Form 10-Q, for its fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2012, which report is due October 10, 2012 (“First Quarter Form 10-Q”), resulting in noncompliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) for that filing. As previously announced, the Company intends to request a hearing before a NASDAQ Hearings Panel to review the NASDAQ Letter and to request additional time in which to bring its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) current. As part of the hearing request, the Company will request a stay of any delisting of its common stock until the hearing takes places and a decision has been issued. As previously reported, the Company has made substantial progress on completing its financial restatement and preparing the required SEC filings but will require additional time to regain compliance with the NASDAQ filing requirement as a result of the increased scope of work required to complete the restatement. Assuming that the Company's request for a hearing and stay of the delisting process is granted, then any final decision on delisting of the Company's common stock or grant of an additional time for the Company to regain compliance with the listing requirements would be deferred until the NASDAQ Hearings Panel can review the Company's updated plan of compliance and issue a final decision on the Company's request for additional time to file its SEC reports and regain compliance with the listing requirements.
