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

On January 15, 2016, QKL Stores Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). Nasdaq indicated in its letter that Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of US$1.0 per share. Based upon Nasdaq’s review of the Company’s closing bid price for the last thirty (30) consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets this requirement. Consequently, a deficiency exists with regard to the Rule.

Consistent with Nasdaq’s rules, Nasdaq indicated that it will provide the Company a cure period in order to regain compliance. The Company has until July 13, 2016 to regain compliance. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by this date, it will receive written notification from Nasdaq that its securities are subject to delisting.

The Company expects to regain compliance prior to the end of the cure period.
