Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On October 6, 2015, Nxt-ID, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notification (the “Notice”) from the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") indicating that the Company was not in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), as the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS") was below $35 million for the previous 30 consecutive business days.
In accordance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3), the Company has been granted a 180 calendar day compliance period, or until April 4, 2016, to regain compliance with the minimum MVLS requirement. To regain compliance, the Company's MVLS must close at $35 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the 180 calendar day compliance period. During the compliance period, the Company’s shares of common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
The Company intends to monitor its MVLS between now and April 4, 2016, and will consider and evaluate all available options to resolve the Company’s noncompliance with the MVLS requirement as may be necessary. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the MLVS requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.
