On September 2, 2010, we received a letter from the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) approving our application to list our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market.  On June 10, 2010, our Board of Directors authorized the officers of our company to apply for the listing of our common stock on NASDAQ and withdraw the listing of our common stock from the NYSE Amex stock exchange (the “NYSE AMEX”).  We provided NYSE Amex with written notice on September 3, 2010 of our intention to withdraw the listing of our common stock from NYSE Amex.  We expect that our common stock will begin trading on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “CNET” on September 14, 2010.  Our common stock will continue to trade on NYSE Amex until market close on September 13, 2010.  

A copy of the press release announcing the delisting of our stock from NYSE Amex and the listing of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
