Item 3.01. Other Events.

On December 9, 2016, the Company received notice from the NYSE MKT (the "Exchange") indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Section 1003(a) of the Exchange's continued listing standards in the Company Guide. The Company was afforded the opportunity to submit a plan to regain compliance, and on January 9, 2017 the Company submitted its plan to the Exchange.

On February 24, 2017, the Exchange notified the Company that it accepted the Company's plan of compliance and granted the Company an extension until June 11, 2018 to regain compliance with the continued listing standards. The Company will be subject to periodic review during the extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the extension period could result in the Company being delisted from the NYSE MKT.

On February 27, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt from the Exchange of its acceptance of the Company's plan of compliance. The full text of this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.
