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

On June 18, 2009, TVI Corporation (the “Company”) received a notice from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Department (the “Notice”) that it will announce on June 22, 2009 that the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. ( “NASDAQ”) will delist the Company’s common stock. As previously reported by the Company, NASDAQ suspended trading of the Company’s common stock on April 13, 2009, and the Company’s common stock has not traded on NASDAQ since that time. The Notice also states that NASDAQ will file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to complete the delisting, which will become effective 10 days after the Form 25 is filed. The notice sent to the Company by NASDAQ in connection with the previously announced trading suspension provided the following reasons for the delisting: (i) the Company’s filing of voluntary bankruptcy petitions seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (ii) concerns regarding the residual equity interest of the existing listed securities holders, and (iii) concerns about the Company’s ability to sustain compliance with all requirements for continued listing on NASDAQ.

The Company will not take any action regarding the delisting in connection with its receipt of the Notice. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “TVINQ.”

Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is the press release announcing that NASDAQ intends to complete the delisting.
