Item 3.01(a) Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On June 4, 2015, ROI Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(3) (the “Minimum Public Holders Rule”), which requires the Company to have at least 300 public holders for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the NASDAQ Capital Market.
The Notice states that no later than July 20, 2015, the Company is required to submit a plan to evidence compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule. If the Company submits a plan and Nasdaq accepts the plan, Nasdaq may grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice to evidence compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule. If the Company submits a plan but Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal the decision in front of a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On May 21, 2015, the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent with a private company that sets forth the preliminary terms and conditions of a potential business combination. As a result, pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Company has until September 20, 2015 to consummate its business combination. There can be no assurance that the parties will enter into definitive agreements or that the parties will consummate the transactions contemplated by the non-binding letter of intent. If the Company does not consummate a business combination on or before September 20, 2015, it will distribute the proceeds held in trust to its shareholders in accordance with its amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
