Ottawa-based DragonWave announced Wednesday its common shares have been transferred from Nasdaq’s global market to its capital market effective Aug. 28.
The packet microwave radio system provider received notice in the spring that its closing bid price had been below US$1 for 30 straight days. The company was given until Aug. 31 to remedy the situation.
The transfer is a result of DragonWave’s failure to boost its stock price. The company now has an additional 180 days to get its stock value over US$1.

The company’s chief financial officer, Russell Frederick, announced his resignation late last month, citing personal reasons.
