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

As previously disclosed, on December 12, 2014, Sam Borek, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and Audit Committee, passed away. Mr. Borek’s death reduced the number of members of the audit committee to two and thus caused the Company to become non-compliant with Rule 4350(d)(2)(A) of the Nasdaq Stock Market, which requires that every Nasdaq-listed company have an audit committee of at least three members.

On April 15, 2015, the Company received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that the Company no longer complies with Rule 4350(d)(2)(A).

NASDAQ provided the Company with a cure period in order to regain compliance as follows:

 

    until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or December 12, 2015; or

 

    if the next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before June 9, 2015, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than June 9, 2015.

The Company intends to add at least one additional independent member to the Audit Committee by the date required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605.
