Item 3.01.  Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
 
    On June 7, 2011, Physicians Formula Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that as a result of Mr. Padraic Spence’s resignation from the Company’s board of directors as described in Item 5.02 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 27, 2011, the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires that the Company’s audit committee consist of three directors meeting the independence criteria and having the qualifications set forth in the Nasdaq Rules.  As a result of Mr. Spence’s resignation, the Company’s audit committee consists of only two members meeting the independence criteria and having the qualifications set forth in the Nasdaq Rules.  Consistent with Nasdaq Rule 5605(c)(4), Nasdaq will provide the Company with a cure period in order to regain compliance with the audit committee requirement.  The cure period will extend until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or May 24, 2012, provided that if the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before November 21, 2011, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than November 21, 2011.
 
    The Company has initiated a search in order to identify an independent and appropriately qualified director to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Spence’s resignation in order to ensure the Company’s compliance with the Nasdaq Rules.
