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

Effective as of the open of business on October 7, 2019, the Company’s common stock was transferred from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Nasdaq Capital Market is a continuous trading market that operates in substantially the same manner as The Nasdaq Global Market and listed companies must meet certain financial requirements and comply with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s (“Nasdaq”) corporate governance requirements. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “PRTO.”

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with The Securities and Exchange Commission on August 15, 2019, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq informing the Company that the $9,477,000 in stockholders’ equity reported in its most recent Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, fell below the minimum of $10,000,000 for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A). After consultation with Nasdaq, the Company decided to transfer the listing of its common stock from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market.
