Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
U.S. Gold Corp. (the “Company”) determined that Ryan K. Zinke, who was appointed to the Company’s Audit Committee to replace James D. Davidson, who resigned effective July 1, 2019, did not meet the eligibility standards for independence under Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(2)(A) (the “Audit Independence Rules”). On July 16, 2019, the Company notified the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that its audit committee did not satisfy the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires three independent audit committee members, and that it intends to rely upon the cure period provided by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4).
On July 25, 2019, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq confirming its noncompliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 and that the Company is required to comply with the listing requirement as follows: (i) until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or June 30, 2020; or (ii) if the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before December 27, 2019, then no later than December 27, 2019.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Elections of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Effective July 23, 2019, Mr. Zinke notified the Company of his intention to step down from his position as member of the Audit Committee and the Company accepted his resignation. Mr. Zinke resigned due to the fact he is not deemed “independent” for purposes of the Audit Independence Rules. Mr. Zinke will continue to serve as an independent member of the Board of Directors for purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1).
