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

 

As previously disclosed on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed August 30, 2018, Carl J. Schramm resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (the “Company”) and each Board committee of which he was a member, including the Audit Committee, on August 25, 2018. As a result, the Company is no longer compliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1), which requires that a majority of the Board be independent, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires that the Audit Committee have at least three independent directors.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, on August 27, 2018, the Company notified Nasdaq of Mr. Schramm’s resignation and non-compliance with the above Nasdaq Listing Rules. Nasdaq responded on September 6, 2018 with a notification letter confirming the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq’s independent director and audit committee requirements as set forth above. Nasdaq advised that, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules 5605(b)(1)(A) and 5605(c)(4), the Company will have until the following to cure the deficiencies caused by Mr. Schramm’s departure:

 

until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or August 25, 2019; or
     
if the next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before February 21, 2019, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than February 21, 2019.

 

The Board intends to appoint a new independent director who satisfies the applicable requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules to serve on the Company’s Board and Audit Committee prior to the expiration of the cure period.
