Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On April 2, 2013, Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. (Nasdaq:TBAC) (the "Company") received a deficiency notification letter from the Nasdaq Global Market ("Nasdaq"). The notice stated that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1) because the bid price of the Company's common stock closed below the required minimum $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days. The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock.
In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, until September 30, 2013, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule. If at any time before September 30, 2013, the bid price of the Company's common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will notify the Company that it has regained compliance with the minimum bid price rule. The Company is currently reviewing options with respect to regaining such compliance.
If the Company cannot demonstrate compliance with Rule 5450(a)(1) by September 30, 2013, Nasdaq will provide notice to the Company that its securities may be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal NASDAQ's decision to a Listing Qualifications Panel. Alternatively, the Company may submit an application to transfer its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market. Following submission of the application, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the bid price requirement, for The Nasdaq Capital Market.
