Item 3.01

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

 

On November 9, 2016, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that, due to the passing of Mr. Thomas Orr, the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s independent director and audit committee requirements as set forth in Listing Rule 5605. However, consistent with Listing Rules 5605(b)(1)(A) and 5605(c)(4), Nasdaq has provided the Company a cure period in order to regain compliance as follows:

 

• until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or October 27, 2017; or

• if the next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before April 25, 2017, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than April 25, 2017.

 

In the event the Company does not regain compliance by this date, Nasdaq rules require Staff to provide written notification to the Company that its securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel.

 

The Company intends to search for a director that qualifies as independent under Nasdaq rules. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s independent director and audit committee requirements or will be in compliance with other NASDAQ listing criteria.
