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

 

On January 22, 2013, Reliv International, Inc. (“Reliv”) notified The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) that Reliv’s Board of Directors was no longer comprised of a majority of independent directors as required by Rule 5605(b)(1) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. As reported by Reliv in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 22, 2013, Michael Smith resigned from Reliv’s Board of Directors effective January 17, 2013. Of Reliv’s remaining six directors, Reliv’s Board of Directors has determined that three qualify as independent directors under Nasdaq Listing Rules.

 

In response to Reliv’s notice, Nasdaq issued a deficiency letter to Reliv on February 8, 2013 indicating that Reliv no longer complies with Nasdaq’s independent director requirement as set forth in Listing Rule 5605. Reliv intends to regain compliance with the requirement that its Board of Directors have a majority of independent directors prior to the expiration of the cure period provided pursuant to Listing Rule 5605(b)(1)(A).
