Item 2.02     Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 10, 2011, American Apparel, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its results of operations for the first quarter of 2011. The press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1. The information in this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall such information or exhibit be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

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

As previously disclosed in Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on May 2, 2011, and in the Company’s Preliminary Proxy Statement, filed with the SEC on May 4, 2011, Keith Miller resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors on May 2, 2011 and from the committees thereof on which he served, including the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee.  Mr. Miller informed the Company that he was resigning due to business and personal time commitments.

Also as previously disclosed, as a result of Mr. Miller’s resignation, the Audit Committee consists of two members and therefore the Company is no longer in compliance with Section 803(B)(2)(a) of the NYSE Amex Company Guide, which requires the Audit Committee to consist of at least three members.  The NYSE Amex Company Guide provides for a 180-day cure period for the Company to regain compliance with the audit committee composition requirements of the NYSE Amex (the “Exchange”).

On May 6, 2011, the Company received a letter from the Exchange advising that, as a result of Mr. Miller’s resignation from the Audit Committee, the Company was not in compliance with Section 803(B)(2)(a) of the NYSE Amex Company Guide, and confirming that the Company has until October 31, 2011 to regain compliance with the Exchange’s audit committee composition requirement. The Company intends to fill the vacancy on the Audit Committee as expeditiously as possible prior to the expiration of the cure period.
