Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing |
(a) As disclosed in Item 5.02 of the Current Report on Form 8-K of HopFed Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 25, 2018, Clay Smith resigned in connection with his plans to retire from the Board of Directors , and not as a result of any disagreement with the Company. Mr. Smith was formerly a member of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) requires that the audit committee of a listed company be composed of at least three directors, each of whom is an independent director as defined under Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) and Exchange Act Rule 10A-3.
On June 5, 2018, the Company received notification from Nasdaq that, as a result of Mr. Smiths resignation, the Company is out of compliance with Listing Rule 5605 regarding the number of Board members serving on the Audit Committee. At this time, the Company has two directors serving on its Audit Committee.
In its letter, NASDAQ also notified the Company that, consistent with Listing Rule 5605(c)(4), Nasdaq will provide the Company a cure period in order to regain compliance. This period would last until the earlier of the Companys next annual meeting of stockholders or May 18, 2019.
It is the Companys current intent to make all 2018 committee assignments at the Boards next regular meeting in June 2018, including the appointment of three independent directors to the Companys Audit Committee.
