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

Trading of shares of the Company’s common stock will be transferred from the NASDAQ Global Market to the OTCQB™ Marketplace effective Thursday, September 30, 2010.  Mace’s symbol on the OTCQB™ will remain MACE. The OTCQB™ market is operated by OTC Pink Market, Inc. and is only available to OTC securities that are registered and fully reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or that report to banking or insurance regulators.  Commencing September 30, 2010, investors will be able to view real time stock quotes for MACE at http://www.otcmarkets.com and through most online broker websites.

On September 21, 2010, the Company received a staff determination letter (the “Determination Letter”) from NASDAQ (the “Exchange”) informing the Company that it had not regained compliance with the requirements for continued listing set forth in NASDAQ listing rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Listing Rule”) as a result of the Company not regaining compliance with a minimum $1.00 closing bid price.  The Company previously disclosed on a Form 8-K filed on March 30, 2010 with the SEC, that on March 22, 2010 the Company received a letter from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Department that the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed at less than $1.00 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, did not comply with the Listing Rule.  In accordance with listing rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until September 20, 2010, to regain compliance with the Listing Rule by having a closing bid price for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at $1.00 per share or higher.  The Company was not able to regain compliance.  The Determination Letter advised the Company that its securities will be removed from listing and registration on the Exchange on opening of business September 30, 2010, unless the Company appealed the Staff Determination within seven business days.  The Company’s Board of Directors decided not to appeal the Staff Determination.

A copy of a press release issued by the Company on September 24, 2010 regarding  the non-compliance with NASDAQ listing rule 5450(a)(1) and the Company’s common stock transfer of trading to the OTCQB™, is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
