Dot Hill’s stock back to Nasdaq compliance

LONGMONT – Data-storage firm Dot Hill Systems Corp. is back in compliance with a Nasdaq stock-market rule that its closing stock price must be $1 or higher for 10 consecutive days after it dips below the $1 mark, the company said Monday.

Dot Hill’s stock price closed at 98 cents on Oct. 19, and remained below $1 until Friday, Jan. 4. The Longmont-based company’s stock trading price dipped after that but rose again to close at $1.03 on Jan. 9, said Jodi Bochert, an investor relations spokeswoman. Executives from Dot Hill (Nasdaq: HILL) made presentations at two industry investor conferences and announced a large storage contract in mid-January. Since Jan. 9, the stock has remained above $1 through Jan. 25, when it closed at $1.23.

A publicly traded company has 180 days to come back into compliance with Nasdaq rules after its stock price drops below $1. In the past year, the stock has traded at a low of 72 cents and a high of $1.65. The company is currently in a “quiet period” required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in advance of its scheduled March 11 year-end earnings report.
