Item 8.01.

Other Events.

On March 15, 2013, Motricity, Inc. (the “Company” or Motricity) received a determination from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) indicating that the Panel has granted the Company’s request to transfer its listing from The NASDAQ Global Select Market to The NASDAQ Capital Market. As a result of this transfer, we have until June 10, 2013 to ensure compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), the continued listing requirement to maintain the closing bid price of our common stock at $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”).

The Company’s securities began trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market on Tuesday, March 19, 2013.

As previously disclosed, on June 14, 2012, we received a letter from NASDAQ Staff advising that for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of our common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on The NASDAQ Global Select Market pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). NASDAQ stated in its letter that in accordance with the NASDAQ Listing Rules, we would be provided 180 calendar days, or until December 11, 2012, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. On December 13, 2012, we received the a letter notifying us that we did not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement and, accordingly would be delisted from The NASDAQ Global Select Market unless we requested a hearing before the Panel. Accordingly, we timely submitted to NASDAQ a request for a hearing, which resulted in a stay of the suspension of trading of our common stock pending the conclusion of the hearing process and the expiration of any extensions granted by the Panel. On January 2, 2013, we received a third letter from NASDAQ advising us that our failure to meet the Proxy Solicitation and Annual Meeting Requirements serves as an additional basis for delisting our common stock. We presented our plan for regaining compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement and the Proxy Solicitation and Annual Meeting Requirements at a hearing on January 31, 2013, and by letter, dated February 28, 2013, the Panel granted our request for continued listing, subject to, among other things, the requirement that we satisfy the Minimum Bid Requirement for the ten trading days prior to March 29, 2013 and that we solicit proxies and hold our annual meeting of stockholders by April 15, 2013. We subsequently requested additional time to comply with the Minimum Bid Requirement by transferring to the NASDAQ Capital Market.

There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve or maintain compliance with the NASDAQ continued listing requirements.
