Item 3.01Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On August 19, 2015, Skystar Bio-Pharmaceutical Company (the “Company”) received a notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that because it had not filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). The Company previously submitted a plan of compliance to Nasdaq, responded to an initial request for additional information from Nasdaq, and is preparing responses to a second request for additional information from Nasdaq. If its plan is approved by the Nasdaq staff, the Company may be eligible for a listing exception of up to 180 calendar days from the date of its initial delinquent filing (its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014), or until October 12, 2015, to regain compliance. If the Nasdaq staff concludes that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, the Company's common stock will be subject to delisting by Nasdaq.
