Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure
to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported
on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2018, Alex Morrison resigned
as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Pershing Gold Corporation (the “Company”) on February
23, 2018. The Company notified Nasdaq on February 26, 2018 that, due to Mr. Morrison’s resignation from the Board, the Company
would no longer continue to satisfy the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires the audit committee of
a company with Nasdaq-listed securities to have a minimum of three members.
On March 8, 2018, the
Company received a written notice from Nasdaq confirming the Company’s non-compliance with Listing Rule 5605, and
confirming that the Company, in accordance with the cure period provided for in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4), has (a)
until the earlier of its next annual stockholders’ meeting or February 25, 2019 to regain compliance, or (b) if the next
annual stockholders’ meeting is held before August 22, 2018, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than August
22, 2018. The Company expects to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) by appointing a new independent director to
the Audit Committee within the aforementioned time period.
Item 8.01 Other Matters
On March 9, 2018, the
Board established the date of the Company's 2018 annual meeting of stockholders as June 22, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”)
and established the close of business on April 23, 2018 as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive notice
of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Since the date of the Annual
Meeting has been changed by more than 30 calendar days from the anniversary date of the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders,
the Company has undertaken, pursuant to Rule 14a-5(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), to provide shareholders with an updated deadline for submitting any qualified stockholder proposals.
In accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) and Rule 14a-8(e) under the Exchange Act, notice by a stockholder of
any qualified stockholder proposal must be received by the Company at its principal executive offices at 1658 Cole Boulevard, Building
6, Suite 210, Lakewood, Colorado, and directed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary, by April 6, 2018 in order to be considered
for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy for the Annual Meeting. Such stockholder proposals
must conform to the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any such notice received after
the close of business on April 6, 2018 will be considered untimely.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
