Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On November 16, 2018, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the bid price of the Company’s common stock for the previous 30 consecutive trading days had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). The letter stated that the Company had 180 days, or until May 15, 2019, to demonstrate compliance by maintaining a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days.

On May 16, 2019, Nasdaq notified the Company that while the Company had not regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule, it was eligible for an additional 180-day grace period, or until November 11, 2019, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. Nasdaq’s determination was based on the Company having met the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Rule, and on the Company’s written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by November 11, 2019, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s delisting determination to a NASDAQ Hearings Panel, or the Panel. The Company’s common stock would remain listed pending the Panel’s decision. There can be no assurance that if the Company does appeal such a delisting determination by Nasdaq to the Panel, that such appeal would be successful.

A copy of the press release disclosing receipt of the Nasdaq letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
