Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing |
On April 17, 2014, Entertainment Gaming Asia Inc. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter (the “Notice Letter”) from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) advising that, based on the Company’s closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company does not comply with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share, as set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
The notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market.
In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a grace period of 180 calendar days, until October 14, 2014, to regain compliance with the minimum closing price requirement for continued listing. If at any time during the 180-day notice period, the minimum closing bid price per share of the Company’s common stock closes at or above $1.00 for a period of ten consecutive business days, the Company will regain compliance and the matter will be closed. In the event the Company does not regain compliance within the 180-day grace period, the Company may be eligible to receive an additional 180-day grace period, provided that it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable standards for initial listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market, except for the bid price requirement, and provides written notice of its intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency during the second 180-day grace period. If the Company fails to regain compliance after the second 180-day grace period, the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting by NASDAQ.
On April 23, 2014, the Company issued a press release, attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1, reporting that it had received the Notice from NASDAQ.
