Tower Group International, Ltd. (NASDAQ: TWGP) (“Tower”) announced today
that it received a notification letter from The Nasdaq Listing
Qualification Department (“Nasdaq”) on May 15, 2014, stating that
because Tower has not yet filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended March
31, 2014 (the "10-Q") with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”), it was not in compliance with the continued listing
requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). This press release is
being issued in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b).
The Nasdaq notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of
Tower's common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market. Under Nasdaq listing
rules, Tower has 60 days to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance
with the applicable listing rule. Tower currently expects to file the
10-Q with the SEC within approximately the next thirty days.
