ITEM 3.01 NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE
TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OR LISTING.
On March 31, 2017, Yulong
Eco-Materials Limited (the “Company”) received a determination letter (the “Letter”) from the NASDAQ Stock
Market LLC (the “NASDAQ”) notifying the Company of the NASDAQ Staff’s determination (the “Determination”)
to delist the Company’s securities from The NASDAQ Capital Market due to its failure to regain compliance with Listing Rule
5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”) because it had not filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, and Quarterly
Reports on Forms 10-Q for the periods ended September 30, and December 31, 2016, respectively (the “Delinquent Reports”).
Pursuant to the Letter, unless the Company requests an appeal of the Determination by 4:00 Eastern Time on April 7, 2017, trading
of the Company’s common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on April 11, 2017, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), causing the Company’s securities to be removed from
listing and registration on The NASDAQ Stock Market.
As previously reported,
on October 14 and November 22, 2016, the Company received two notification letters (the “Notice”) from NASDAQ advising
the Company that it did not comply with the “Rule” because it had not filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
period ended June 30, and Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q for the periods ended September 30, and December 31, 2016, respectively.
The Company was provided an exception until April 12, 2017, to regain compliance with the Rule. On March 24, 2017, the Company
advised that it would be unable to regain compliance with the Rule by April 12, 2017. As of the date of this report, the Company
has not regained compliance with the Rule though it is in the process of preparing its annual report.
The Company currently
intends to request a hearing before a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). Such a request will stay the suspension of the
Company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. At the hearing, if granted, the
Company intends to present a plan to regain compliance with the Rule and request that the Panel allow the Company additional time
within which to regain compliance. While the Company believes that it will be able to present a viable plan to regain compliance,
there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for a suspension of delisting or continued listing
on NASDAQ.
This Form 8-K is filed
to satisfy the obligation that the Company publicly disclose the deficiency within four (4) business days after the date of the
Letter.
