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

In a letter dated April 27, 2010, Novatel Wireless, Inc. (the “Company”), notified The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”), of the resignation of Greg Lorenzetti as a member of the Company’s board of directors. Prior to his resignation, Mr. Lorenzetti had also been a member of the Company’s audit committee. In that letter, the Company also notified Nasdaq that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Rule 5605 because it does not have an audit committee with at least three members.

On May 3, 2010, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq (a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report) confirming that the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605. The Nasdaq letter further indicates that the Company will have until October 18, 2010 to regain compliance.

At the meeting held on May 6, 2010, the Company’s board of directors appointed Russell Gerns, an existing director, to serve as a member of the Company’s audit committee. On May 7, 2010, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq (a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this report) confirming that the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605.
