Explanatory Note

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

On January 13, 2017, Creative Realities, Inc. received written notice that the Company's common stock had been up-listed and approved for trading on OTCQB, the higher tier of the OTC Markets, under its existing symbol “CREX.” The Company had previously traded on the OTC Pink.

The OTCQB marketplace is considered by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an "established public market" for the purpose of determining the public market price when registering securities for resale with the SEC. The OTC Pink marketplace is not considered as such, and most broker-dealers will not trade or recommend OTC Pink stocks for their clients.  Because the OTCQB generally increases transparency by maintaining higher reporting standards and requirements and imposing management certification and compliance requirements, the majority of broker-dealers trade stocks on the OTCQB marketplace. Historically, this has resulted in greater liquidity and awareness for companies that reach the OTCQB market tier.

The Company believes that trading on the OTCQB will likely enhance trading liquidity, broaden its shareholder base and enhance shareholder value. The Company also believes that, as it continues to focus on building a digital marketing business that delivers long-term shareholder value, this up-listing to the OTCQB will also serve as a stepping stone to meeting the requirements for a future up-listing to the OTCQX anticipated later in 2017, and hopefully for eventual admission to the NASDAQ or another national stock exchange in the future.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

The disclosures set forth in Item 3.01 above are incorporated into this reporting item by reference.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
