Due to the resignation of Kenneth LeStrange on December 18, 2014 from the Board of Directors of Enstar Group Limited (the Company), which became effective on December 31, 2014, the Company received, as expected, a notification on January 15, 2015 from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Department indicating that the Company was no longer in compliance with: (1) Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(b)(1), which requires that a majority of the Companys Board of Directors be comprised of independent directors, and (2) Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires, among other things, that the Audit Committee of the Companys board of directors be comprised of at least three independent directors.
Consistent with Marketplace Rules 5605(b)(1)(A) and 5605(c)(4)(B), NASDAQ has provided the Company a cure period ending June 29, 2015 within which to regain compliance. The Company intends to appoint a new independent director to its board of directors and its Audit Committee within the cure period.
