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

On October 24, 2012, Presstek, Inc. (the "Company") received a notification letter (the "Notice") from The NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") advising the Company that the Company has not regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requiring that the Company maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share. The Notice advised the Company that its securities will be delisted from the Capital Market. Unless the Company requests an appeal of NASDAQ’s determination, trading of the Company’s common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on November 2, 2012, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Company does not intend to request an appeal of NASDAQ’s determination. The Company currently has a special meeting of stockholders scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 31, 2012 to approve a proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 22, 2012, among MAI Holdings, Inc., MAI Merger Corp, and the Company (the “Merger”). The Company expects to receive sufficient affirmative votes to approve the Merger, and expects to close the Merger on October 31, 2012, after which the Company expects to withdraw the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain information contained herein may include "forward-looking statements." These forward-looking statements relate to the Company's expectations concerning the holding of a special stockholder’s meeting on October 31, 2012, the vote expected to be obtained at the meeting, and the Company’s expectation concerning its discontinuance of registration and listing from The Nasdaq Stock Market. Factors that could cause actual events or results to differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to the Company’s ability to conduct the special meeting of stockholders due to the effects of Hurricane Sandy, significant changes in the actual vote reported at the special meeting and the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this report.
