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

The Company received notification on November 11, 2014 from the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) that the Company is not in compliance with NYSE MKT LLC (the “NYSE MKT”) continued listing standards; specifically, the Company is not in compliance with NYSE MKT Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) given that its stockholders’ equity before noncontrolling interest, as reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, remains below compliance as of the year ended December 31, 2013, and that the Company has reported losses from continuing operations and net losses in each of the last five fiscal years.

In its notification, received by the Company on November 11, 2014 the Exchange acknowledged that the Company had resolved the continued listing deficiency with respect to Company Guide Sections 134 and 1101 in that the Company had filed its Form 10-K by the extended due date of October 31, 2014. The Exchange also reiterated that the Company is still required to file its Forms 10-Q no later than December 31, 2014 and informed the Company that its failure to do so will likely result in the Exchange initiating delisting proceedings.

On September 18, 2014, the Company submitted a plan of compliance to the Exchange that outlined the Company’s initiatives to bring the Company back into compliance with the requirements of Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide. Although the Exchange’s notification, received November 11, 2014, reiterated the Company’s non-compliance, the Exchange further indicated that they had reviewed the Company’s plan of compliance and accepted the plan, granting a plan period through February 19, 2016 for the Company to regain compliance as outlined in its plan of compliance. The Exchange also stipulated that the Company provide them with quarterly updates concurrent with its interim/annual SEC filings. Additionally, if the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by February 19, 2016, or if the Company does not make progress consistent with its plan of compliance, the Exchange will initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate.

The Exchange correspondence further acknowledged that the Company had resolved its deficiency referenced in the Exchange's letter of October 2, 2014 with respect to Company Guide Section 1003(f)(iv) since the Company had paid its outstanding listing fees.

Although there can be no assurances, the Company expects to regain full compliance with the continued listing standards by February 19, 2016.
