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

       On May 23, 2017, HMS Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) received a notification letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”), indicating that because the Company had not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2017 (the “2017 Q1 Form 10-Q”), the Company is not in compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires timely filing of periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As previously disclosed, on March 20, 2017, the Company received a similar notification letter from NASDAQ due to its delay in filing the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (the “2016 Form 10-K”).

       In accordance with NASDAQ’s prior notification letter, the Company submitted its plan to regain compliance with NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements on May 19, 2017. The plan is currently under review by NASDAQ. Upon acceptance of the Company’s compliance plan, NASDAQ can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the filing due date of the 2016 Form 10-K, or September 12, 2017, to regain compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5250(c)(1). If NASDAQ does not accept the Company’s compliance plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a NASDAQ Hearings Panel.

       The Notice has no immediate effect on the continued listing of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

     

Item 7.01.      Regulation FD Disclosure.

       On May 30, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

       The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 furnished pursuant to Item 9.01, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
