Nasdaq Grants Dell Extension

ROUND ROCK, Texas -- Dell Inc. (NASDAQ:DELL - News) today announced that the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel has granted the company's request for continued listing on The NASDAQ Stock Market, subject to the following conditions: The company must provide NASDAQ with certain information regarding the previously announced Audit Committee investigation by March 1, 2007, and file its delinquent periodic reports, along with any required restatements of prior financial statements, by March 14, 2007.
