SALT LAKE CITY, April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ClearOne (http://www.clearone.com) (Nasdaq: CLRO), the leading global provider of high performance audio conferencing solutions, today announced that on April 16, 2010, it received a letter from the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") stating that ClearOne no longer complies with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5250^©(1) as a result of delay in filing its transition report in Form 10-K ("Form 10-K") for the period ended December 31, 2009. The letter was issued by NASDAQ under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(b) for ClearOne's failure to comply with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250^©(1). As already informed through Form NT 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on April 1, 2010 and Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 16, 2010, the delay in filing ClearOne's Form 10-K was due to the delay in completing the accounting for its recent acquisition of NetStreams, Inc.

ClearOne has 60 calendar days, or until June 15, 2010, to submit to NASDAQ a plan (the "Plan") to regain compliance with the NASDAQ Listing Rules. ClearOne intends to file its Form 10-K as soon as possible and before the Plan has to be submitted to regain compliance.
