Pacific Ethanol, Inc. expected to Report Fiscal Year 2009 Results on March 29, 2010. This event was calculated by Capital IQ (Created on November 11, 2009).

On September 15, 2009, Pacific Ethanol, Inc. received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that the bid price of its common stock for the last 30 consecutive business days had closed below the minimum $1 per share required for continued listing under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). Under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until March 14, 2010, in which to regain compliance. The letter states that the NASDAQ staff will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with Rule 5450(a)(1) if at any time before March 14, 2010, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days unless the NASDAQ staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10 day period as discussed in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(F). If the Company does not regain compliance with Rule 5450(a)(1) by March 14, 2010, the NASDAQ staff will provide written notice that the Company’s securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal NASDAQ’s determination to delist its securities to a Hearings Panel. The Company may be eligible for an additional grace period if it meets the initial listing standards, with the exception of the minimum bid price, of the NASDAQ Capital Market as set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5505. To avail itself of this alternative, the Company must submit an application to transfer its securities to The NASDAQ Capital Market.
