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

 

On August 17, 2016, SkyPeople Fruit Juice, Inc. (the "Company") received a notification letter from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications (“NASDAQ”) stating the Company was not in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), due to its failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 (the “Form 10-Q”).

 

Previously, in a notification letter dated June 24, 2016, NASDAQ had granted the Company an exception until October 11, 2016 to file its delinquent Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2015 and Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2016 (the “Initial Delinquent Filings”) based upon the initial plans of compliance (the "Initial Plans of Compliance") submitted by the Company to NASDAQ. This extension represents the full extent of the discretion afforded to staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of NASDAQ pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(F)(ii). As a result of this additional delinquency of Form 10-Q, the Company is provided until September 1, 2016 to submit an update of the Initial Plans of Compliance to regain compliance with respect to the filing requirement.

 

The NASDAQ notification letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market.
