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

On April 3, 2019, STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that, because the Company has not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “10-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), the Company no longer complies with the continued listing requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires Nasdaq-listed companies to timely file all periodic reports with the Commission.

As previously reported by the Company in its Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25, filed with the Commission on April 2, 2019, the Company was unable to file the 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 within the prescribed period because the Company is still in the process of completing the December 31, 2018 audit and filing, as it is still evaluating the proper accounting of certain historical contingent and potential liabilities related to state sales and use taxes as well as potential non-cash derivative liabilities arising from debentures issued in June 2015 which converted to Series C Preferred Stock in September 2017.

This notice from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company has 60 days within which to either cure the deficiency or to submit a plan to Nasdaq showing how it intends to regain compliance. If Nasdaq accepts the plan submitted by the Company , Nasdaq can grant an extension of the grace period for shares of STRATA’s common stock to remain listed for up to 180 calendar days from the 10-K’s due date, or until September 30, 2019, to regain compliance.

The Company intends to submit the 10-K as soon as practicable.
