TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard;
Transfer of Listing.
On September 12, 2007, Forrester Research, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice that the Nasdaq
Listing Hearing and Review Council (the “Listing Council) has determined to call for review the
decision by the Nasdaq Listing Qualification Panel (the “Panel”) dated August 31, 2007 and has
stayed the delisting of the Company’s common stock pending further review by the Listing Council.
The Panel’s decision had indicated that pursuant to Marketplace Rule 4802(b), it did not have
discretion to provide the Company with an exception to applicable listing rules beyond September
12, 2007.
On March 16, 2007, the Company announced a delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its
fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (“2006 10-K”) because of its ongoing investigation of its stock
option granting practices. On May 10, 2007 and August 9, 2007, the Company announced
a delay in filing its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2007 (“Q1
2007 10-Q”) and for the three months ended June 30, 2007
(“Q2 2007 10-Q”), respectively. As previously announced,
the Company has received Staff Determination letters from the Listing Qualifications department of
The Nasdaq Stock Market stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule
4310(c)(14) due to the delay in the filing of its 2006 10-K, Q1 2007 10-Q, and Q2 2007 10-Q.
On June 19, 2007 the Company announced that on June 14, 2007 the Panel granted the request of the
Company for continued listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company’s continued listing was
subject to certain conditions, including that on or before September 12, 2007 it file with the SEC
the delinquent reports and any required restatement of the Company’s historical financial
statements.
While Forrester’s common stock will remain listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market pending the conclusion
of the Listing Council’s review, there can be no assurance that the Listing Council will determine
that the Company’s common stock should remain listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market following the
completion of its review.
The press release issued by the Company on September 12, 2007 in connection with this matter is
attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
