Item 3.01

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

On April 17, 2020, Hudson Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, due to recent market turmoil, Nasdaq has filed a rule change tolling the compliance period for bid price requirements through June 30, 2020. As a result, the requirement of the Company to regain compliance with a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”), has been extended from July 27, 2020 to October 12, 2020.

As previously disclosed, on August 1, 2019, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer met the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share, as set forth in the Rule. The Company was provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until January 28, 2020, in which to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

Also, as previously disclosed, on January 30, 2020, the Company received notice from Nasdaq indicating that, while the Company has not regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, the staff of Nasdaq (the “Staff”) has determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180-day period, or until July 27, 2020, to regain compliance. The Staff’s determination was based on (i) the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of its publicly held shares and all other applicable initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and (ii) the Company providing written notice to Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If at any time during this second, 180-day period the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock is at least $1.00 per share for at least a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written confirmation of compliance. If compliance cannot be demonstrated by July 27, 2020 (now extended to October 12, 2020), Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its Common Stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Rule or maintain compliance with other Nasdaq continued listing requirements.
