Item 3.01

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

On August 10, 2018, Symantec Corporation (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that because the Company had not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 29, 2018 (the “Form 10-Q”), the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company previously submitted a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules to Nasdaq in connection with an earlier notice of non-compliance from Nasdaq. Nasdaq has granted the Company until November 26, 2018 to regain compliance.

On August 13, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.01 and is incorporated herein by reference.
