ITEM 3.01  NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING.
 
As previously disclosed on a Form 8-K filed by AltiGen Communications, Inc. on January 28, 2009, Mr. Eric D. Wanger resigned from the Board of Directors of AltiGen effective January 26, 2009.  In accordance with the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, on January 28, 2009, the Company gave Nasdaq notice that (i) the vacancy caused by Mr. Wanger’s resignation left (a) the Board comprised of independent directors who constitute less than a majority of the Board, which does not satisfy Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(1) that a majority of the Board be comprised of independent directors and (b) the Audit Committee with two members, which does not satisfy the requirement of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2) that a listed company have a three member Audit Committee, and (ii) that the Company would rely on the temporary cure provision of Rules 4350(c)(1) and 4350(d)(4), respectively, until the vacancy is filled.

On February 17, 2009, the Company received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market dated February 9, 2009, acknowledging receipt of notice from the Company on January 28, 2009, as described above and confirming that the Company could rely on the cure provision of Rules 4350(c) (1) and 4350(d)(4) in having a Board comprised of independent directors who constitute less than a majority of the Board and only two members on its Audit Committee until July 25, 2009.  The Company intends to fill the vacancy on its Audit Committee with an independent director on or prior to July 25, 2009.  The Company issued a press release on February 17, 2009 concerning this matter, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
