Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On March 1, 2016, Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice (the “MVPHS Notification Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department indicating that the Company no longer satisfies the minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (“MVPHS”) requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(5) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(5) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum MVPHS of $1 million, and Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D) provides that a failure to meet the minimum MVPHS requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Based on the minimum MVPHS of the Company’s publicly held shares for the 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the MVPHS Notification Letter, the Company no longer meets the minimum MVPHS requirement.
The MVPHS Notification Letter states that the Company has 180 calendar days, or until August 29, 2016, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(5). To regain compliance, the Company’s MVPHS must reach at least $1 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.
The Company is currently considering available options to resolve its compliance with the minimum MVPHS requirement and regain compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rules.
