What is the primary reason for this 8-K filing?

This 8-K filing is primarily to inform investors that TASER International, Inc. received a notification from The NASDAQ Stock Market regarding its non-compliance with continued listing rules. This non-compliance stems from the company's failure to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, on time, which is a consequence of the company needing to restate its financial statements for earlier quarters.

Will the company be delisted from NASDAQ immediately?

No, the company will not be delisted immediately. TASER International plans to appeal NASDAQ's determination by requesting a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel. This appeal process will automatically stay any delisting action pending the Panel's review and decision, allowing the stock to continue trading on The Nasdaq National Market in the interim.

What does the change in ticker symbol to 'TASRE' signify?

The addition of an 'E' to the ticker symbol, changing it to 'TASRE' from 'TASR' effective November 25, 2005, is a notification from NASDAQ to the market. It signifies that the company is currently not in compliance with the exchange's listing requirements due to the delayed and restated financial filings, although trading is permitted to continue during the appeal process.

What is the impact of the financial restatement on the company?

The need to restate financial statements for the first two quarters of 2005 has caused significant disruption, leading to the delay in filing the third-quarter report. This situation has put the company at risk of delisting from NASDAQ, although they are pursuing an appeal. Investors should be aware that the restated financials could potentially change previously reported financial performance, and the ongoing compliance issues may affect investor confidence and liquidity.

Summary

TASER International, Inc. (now Axon Enterprise, Inc.) announced on November 15, 2005, that it would need to restate its financial results for the first two quarters of 2005. This restatement, combined with a delay in filing its third-quarter 10-Q report, led to the company receiving a notification from The NASDAQ Stock Market on November 22, 2005. The notification indicated that TASER International was not in compliance with NASDAQ's continued listing requirements due to its failure to file timely reports with the SEC. In response, the company intends to appeal NASDAQ's determination by requesting a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel. This appeal process will temporarily halt any delisting proceedings, allowing the company's common stock to continue trading on The Nasdaq National Market. However, NASDAQ will append an 'E' to the company's ticker symbol, changing it from TASR to TASRE, effective November 25, 2005, signifying the ongoing listing compliance issue.
