Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 8, 2015, EveryWare Global, Inc. (the Company) received a letter from the the Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) stating that Nasdaq has determined that the Companys securities will be delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market. The decision was reached by the Staff under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5101, 5110(b) and IM-5101-1. Accordingly, trading of the Companys common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on Friday, April 17, 2015, and Nasdaq will file a Form 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Companys securities from listing and registration on the Nasdaq Global Market.
The delisting is a consequence of: (i) the Companys April 7, 2015 filing for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (ii) concerns regarding the residual equity interest of the existing listed securities holders; and (iii) concerns about the Companys ability to sustain compliance with all requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq, including the Companys previously reported noncompliance with Nasdaqs $1 per share minimum bid price and $15 million minimum market value of publicly held shares continued listing standards under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5450(a)(1) and 5450(b)(3)(C), respectively.
The Company currently does not intend to appeal Nasdaqs determination. If the Company does not appeal, the Company expects that its securities will be immediately eligible to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (the OTCBB) or in the Pink Sheets. To be quoted on the OTCBB or the Pink Sheets, a market maker must sponsor the security and comply with SEC Rule 15c2-11 before it can initiate a quote in a specific security. If the Companys securities are delisted from Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that a market maker will apply to quote the Companys common stock or that the Companys common stock will become eligible for the OTCBB or the Pink Sheets.
On April 8, 2015, the Company issued a press release relating to the notice, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Although the Company believes that its expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties and no assurance can be given that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Additionally, various economic and competitive factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, such risks relating to (i) the conclusion by our auditor that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern; (ii) risks and uncertainties associated with the bankruptcy proceedings, including our ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the restructuring support agreement entered into among us, certain of the lenders under our term loan and certain of our equity holders within the time frame contemplated therein; (iii) whether the proposed debtor in possession financing will be approved by the bankruptcy court on the terms contemplated and whether such funds will provide sufficient liquidity during the pendency of the Chapter 11 proceedings; (iv) the limited recovery for holders of our common stock resulting from the Chapter 11 proceedings; (v) increased costs related to the Chapter 11 proceedings; (vi) loss of customer orders, disruption in our supply chain and loss of the ability to maintain vendor relationships; (vii) general economic or business conditions affecting the markets we serve; (viii) our ability to attract and retain key managers; (ix) risks associated with conducting business in foreign countries and currencies; (x) increased competition in our markets; (xi) the impact of changes in governmental regulations on our customers or on our business; (xii) the loss of business from a major customer; (xiii) our ability to obtain future financing due to changes in the lending markets or our financial position; and other risks disclosed in the Companys most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and quarterly and current reports on Form 10-Q and 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
