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

 

On January 6, 2017, ModSys International Ltd. (the “Company”) received a notice (the “First Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company has not held an annual meeting of shareholders within twelve months of the end of the Company’s fiscal year end, December 31, 2015. As a result, the Company does not comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) (the “Annual Meeting Rule”). The First Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq.

 

The First Notice states that, under Nasdaq rules, the Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Annual Meeting Rule. The Company intends to submit a plan to Nasdaq to set a date for an annual meeting of shareholders to be held by March 31, 2017 to regain compliance with the Annual Meeting Rule within the required timeframe. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal the decision in front of a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

 

On January 11, 2017, the Company received a second notice (the “Second Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq stating that the Company is not in compliance with the majority independent board, audit committee and compensation committee requirements as it only has one independent director on its board and serving on the audit and compensation committees as a result of the recent resignations of Messrs. Thomas J. Jurewicz and Brian Crynes as stated on the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 9, 2017. As a result, the Company does not comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1), 5605(e)(2) and 5605(d)(2) (the “Independent Director Rules”). The Second Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq.

 

The Second Notice states that, under Nasdaq rules, the Company is eligible for a cure period to regain compliance with regard to the vacancy on the compensation committee. The Second Notice states that Nasdaq will provide the Company with a cure period to regain compliance with the compensation committee requirements as follows: (a) until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or January 7, 2018; or (b) if the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before July 6, 2017, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than July 6, 2017. With regard to the majority independent board and audit committee requirements, the Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance with these rules. The Company intends to submit a plan to Nasdaq advising Nasdaq of its plan to commence its search for and appoint additional independent directors to the Company’s board of directors, audit committee and compensation committee as soon as practicable to regain compliance with the Independent Director Rules. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, Nasdaq may grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from January 11, 2017 to regain compliance with the Independent Director Rules with respect to the majority independent board and audit committee. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal the decision in front of a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
