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

 

On August 18, 2016, Glori Energy Inc. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter (the “Notice”) from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2016 did not meet the minimum $2.5 million requirement of Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) that is necessary to maintain continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Notice states that the Company also does not, at this time, meet the market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations standards that are alternatives to the stockholders’ equity requirement.

 

The Company has 45 days from the date of the Notice to submit a plan to regain compliance. The Company is currently evaluating whether to submit a plan to regain compliance. If the Company submits a plan and Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, then Nasdaq may grant the Company a 180-day extension from the date of the Notice to evidence compliance. If the Company’s plan in not accepted by Nasdaq, the Company would have an opportunity to appeal the decision to a hearing panel.

 

There can be no assurance that the Company will submit a plan, or that it will be successful in obtaining approval of any plan to regain compliance, or in receiving a 180-day extension to regain compliance or in maintaining the Company’s listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

As previously reported, the Company is also not in compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
