ITEM 3.01
|
NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OR LISTING.
|
On September
28, 2016, Hongli Clean Energy Technologies Corp. (the “Company”) received a Determination letter (the “Letter”)
from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) notifying the Company of the NASDAQ Staff’s determination (the “Determination”)
to delist the Company’s securities from The NASDAQ Capital Market due to its failure to regain
compliance with the
$1.00 per share minimum required for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2)
(the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”),
after the second 180 calendar day compliance period. Pursuant
to the Letter, unless the Company requests an appeal of the Determination by October 5, 2016, trading of the Company’s common
stock will be suspended at the opening of business on October 7, 2016, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), causing the Company’s securities to be removed from listing and registration
on The NASDAQ Capital Market.
As previously reported, on September 29,
2015, the Company received a notification letter (the “Notice”) from NASDAQ advising the Company that for 30 consecutive
business days preceding the date of the Notice, the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed below the $1.00 per
share minimum required for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market pursuant to the Minimum Bid Price Rule. The Company was
provided 180 calendar days, or until March 28, 2016, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. The Company was unable
to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule by March 28, 2016. On April 4, 2016, NASDAQ granted the Company an additional
180 calendar days, or until September 26, 2016, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. As of the date of this report,
the Company has not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule though it is in the process of completing a one-for-ten
reverse stock split.
The Company currently intends to request
a hearing before a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). Such a request will stay the suspension of the Company’s securities
and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. At the hearing, the Company intends to present a plan to
regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule and request that the Panel allow the Company additional time within which to
regain compliance. While the Company believes that it will be able to present a viable plan to regain compliance, there can be
no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for a suspension of delisting or continued listing on NASDAQ.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
