Item 8.01.  Other Events.

 

As previously reported, Real Goods Solar, Inc. (the “Company”) attended a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) on December 15, 2016 related to the Company’s previously reported non-compliance with Nasdaq’s $2,500,000 minimum shareholders’ equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). On January 26, 2017, the Company received a determination letter from the Panel, dated January 25, 2017, providing notice to the Company that it had regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum shareholders’ equity requirement and as such is eligible for continued listing on Nasdaq.

 

The Panel further indicated, however, that the Company was subject to a “Panel Monitor” as that term is defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(A), through January 15, 2018. Under the terms of the Panel Monitor, in the event the Company’s shareholders’ equity fell below the $2,500,000 threshold (or any other requirement that would ordinarily require the Company to submit a compliance plan to the Nasdaq Staff) during the monitor period and the Company would not qualify for continued listing under an alternative to the shareholders’ equity requirement.

 

On January 24, 2018, the Company received a letter from the Panel, dated January 24, 2018, providing notice to confirm that the Company had regained compliance with the minimum shareholders’ equity rule, as required by the Panel’s decision dated January 25, 2017, and is in compliance with other applicable requirements as set forth in the decision and required for listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Accordingly, the Panel has determined to continue the listing of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Stock Market and is closing this matter.
