Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
|
On June 27, 2017, Synthesis Energy Systems,
Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq”),
approving the transfer of the listing of the Company’s common stock from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market.
This transfer will be effective at the opening of business on June 29, 2017. The Nasdaq Capital Market operates in substantially
the same manner as the Nasdaq Global Market, and listed companies must meet certain financial requirements and comply with Nasdaq’s
corporate governance requirements. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “SYMX.”
As previously reported on a Current Report on
Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 23, 2016, on December 21, 2016, the Company received a deficiency
letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days,
the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion
on the Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “Bid Price Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (the “Compliance Period Rule”), the Company was provided an initial period of 180 calendar
days to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
Following the transfer of its listing, the Company
has been granted an additional 180-day period, or until December 18, 2017 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance
with Bid Price Rule. If, at any time before the Compliance Date, the bid price for the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00
or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under the Compliance Period Rule, the Staff will provide written
notification to the Company that it complies with the Bid Price Rule, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this
10 day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(F).
If the Company does not regain compliance with
the Bid Price Rule by the Compliance Date, the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq will provide written notification to
the Company that its common stock may be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s delisting determination
to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (“Panel”). The Company expects that its stock would remain listed pending
the Panel’s decision. There can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal a delisting determination to the Panel,
that such appeal would be successful. The Company has provided written notice of its intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency
prior to the Compliance Date, including by carrying out a reverse stock split, if necessary.
