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

 

On September 5, 2017, Giga-tronics Incorporated (the “Company”) received another decision letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) following a progress update on August 31, 2017. The Nasdaq Hearings Panel has determined to grant the request of the Company for continued listing on NASDAQ, subject to certain conditions.

The Company had previously reported on May 8, 2017 that NASDAQ had initiated proceedings to delist the Company from NASDAQ for its’ failure to comply with its bid price rule; and its failure to comply with the required minimum of either $2,500,000 in shareholders’ equity, $35,000,000 market value of listed securities or $500,000 net income from continuing operations.

 

The Company’s continued listing is conditioned on its taking steps to correct these deficiencies by certain deadlines and to provide reports or disclosures of events that may favorably or unfavorably affect the Company’s ability to do so. These conditions and deadlines include obtaining shareholder approval of a reverse stock split at the October 11, 2017 meeting of shareholders, promptly effecting the reverse split, completing a financing to increase equity to at least $2,500,000 by October 31, 2017, providing plans and assumptions for maintaining this level of equity for at least one year and providing evidence of a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 prior consecutive trading days by October 31, 2017. If the Company is unable to demonstrate compliance with all requirements for continued listing, its securities may be delisted from NASDAQ.

 

There can be no assurance that the Company’s plans to comply with the required bid price, minimum shareholders’ equity, market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations will be successful. If the Company’s Common Stock ceases to be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company expects that its Common Stock would be traded on the Over-the-Counter Markets on or about the same day.
