Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On January 7, 2019, the Company received written notification from the Listings Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the rules for continued listing as set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5620(a), because the Company has not yet held an annual meeting of shareholders within twelve months of the end of the Company’s fiscal year end. The notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Under Nasdaq rules, the Company will have 45 calendar days from the date of the notification to submit a plan to regain compliance, and if Nasdaq accepts the plan, Nasdaq can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from fiscal year end, or until July 1, 2019, to regain compliance. The Company intends to submit a plan to Nasdaq to set a date for an annual meeting of shareholders to regain compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5620(a).
