Item 3.01.

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

 

Effective as of October 1, 2012, Arnold F. Staloff (“Mr. Staloff”) notified Deer Consumer Products, Inc. (the “Company”) of his decision to resign as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, as Chairman of the Board’s Audit Committee, and as a member of the Board’s Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. Mr. Staloff’s decision to resign was not a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

 

As a result of the resignation of Mr. Staloff, the Company is currently not in compliance with Listing Rules 5605(b)(1) and 5605(c)(2)(A) of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC. NASDAQ Listing Rules 5605(b)(1) and 5605(c)(2)(A) require, among other things, that a majority of the Board of Directors be comprised of independent directors as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) and that the Company’s Audit Committee be comprised of at least three members. Following Mr. Staloff’s resignation, the Company’s Board of Directors consists of two independent directors and two non-independent directors, and the Audit Committee is comprised of two members. The Company notified NASDAQ of its noncompliance with the NASDAQ listing rules described above on October 5, 2012.
