Item 3.01               Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On December 14, 2004, VIA NET.WORKS, Inc. received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market granting VIA a second 180-day extension, to June 10, 2005, to regain compliance with NASDAQ’s minimum bid price requirement.  On June 15, 2004, NASDAQ informed VIA that it had failed to meet NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements because its common stock had not traded above $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days.  The new extension stipulates that the share price must close at or above $1.00 per share for at least 10 consecutive trading days prior to June 10, 2005.  In granting the extension, NASDAQ noted that the Company meets all other NASDAQ SmallCap Market listing standards.

 

A copy of the related press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
