Indicate by check mark whether the registrant is an emerging growth company as defined in as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 (§ 230.405 of this chapter) or Rule 12b–2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (§ 240.12b–2 of this chapter).

On April 3, 2018, Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is no longer in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires listed companies to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000. In the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2017, the Company reported a deficiency in stockholders’ equity of ($6,785,000) for the fiscal year then ended. Further, as of April 3, 2018, the Company did not meet the alternative compliance standards under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b) of (i) a market value of listed securities of at least $35,000,000 or (ii) net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in its last completed fiscal year or in two of the last three fiscal years.

The notification letter has no immediate effect on the Company’s listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq has provided the Company with 45 calendar days, or until May 18, 2018, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity standard. If the Company’s plan to regain compliance is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the notification letter to regain compliance. If the Company’s plan to regain compliance is not accepted, or if it is accepted and the Company does not regain compliance in the timeframe required by Nasdaq, the Nasdaq staff could provide notice that the Company’s common stock is subject to delisting.

The Company is currently evaluating options to regain compliance and intends to timely submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’ equity standard. The Company is confident that it can regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’ equity standard within the compliance period.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s plan will be accepted or that, if it is, the Company will be able to regain compliance with the applicable Nasdaq listing requirements.
