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

 

On May 2, 2017, InfoSonics Corporation (the "Company") received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") advising that the Staff had determined that:  (i) the Company had not regained compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) as of May 1, 2017 (following the expiration of two 180-day periods in which to regain compliance previously provided by Nasdaq); and (ii) unless the Company requested an appeal of this determination by May 9, 2017, trading of the Company’s common stock would be suspended from The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on May 11, 2017 and a Form 25-NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to remove the Company's securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market (the "Delisting").  The Company intends to submit an oral hearing request on or before May 9, 2017 to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), which request will stay the Delisting.

At the Panel hearing regarding the Delisting, the Company will be required to present a plan to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.  The Company expects to present to the Panel a plan that includes a discussion of the reasons why the Company believes it can regain compliance, as well as confirm to the Panel that the Company is prepared to effectuate a reverse stock split in order to regain compliance if necessary.  The Panel will rule on whether to grant the Company relief from the Delisting (including setting forth the specific requirements of any such relief) or go forward with the Delisting, following the hearing.  

 

Except for the factual statements made herein, information contained in this report consists of forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.  Words and expressions reflecting optimism, satisfaction or disappointment with current prospects or future events, as well as words such as “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “plans,” and similar expressions, or the use of future tense, identify forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.  Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and actual actions or events could differ materially from those contained in such statements.  For example, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company any relief from the Delisting or that the Company can agree to or ultimately meet the specific requirements of any such relief, or remain listed on Nasdaq or otherwise be publicly traded.  Reference is also made to other factors detailed from time to time in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as of the date of this report and we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date of this report, unless required by law.
