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

 

On May 21, 2012, ZaZa Energy Corporation (the “Company”) received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of the Company’s delay in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012 (the “Form 10-Q”). The NASDAQ letter states that the Company is required to submit a plan to regain compliance with NASDAQ’s filing requirements for continued listing by June 18, 2012. The NASDAQ notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Company anticipates that it will file its Form 10-Q in the near future and that it will fully regain compliance with the NASDAQ continued listing requirements upon such filing of its Form 10-Q.

 

The Company issued a press release on May 25, 2012 disclosing the Company’s receipt of the NASDAQ notification letter. A copy of such press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
