Item
3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On
July 14, 2020, Nasdaq notified Eastside Distilling, Inc. (“Eastside”), that, as previously reported, as a result of
Director Paul Block being appointed to serve as Chief Executive Officer of Eastside and resigning from the Audit Committee, each
effective July 1, 2020, Mr. Block is no longer a non-independent member of the Board of Directors of Eastside (the “Board”)
and Eastside is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq’s majority independent board and audit committee requirements as set
forth in Listing Rule 5605.
In
accordance with the Listing Rules, Eastside has 45 days to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the majority independent
board requirement. If Eastside’s plan to regain compliance with the majority independent board requirement is accepted by
Nasdaq, an extension of up to 180 calendar days from July 14, 2020 may be granted to provide Nasdaq evidence of compliance.
Further,
Eastside has until the earlier of Eastside’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or July 1, 2021 to evidence compliance
with the audit committee requirements, or if the next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before December 28, 2020, then
Eastside must evidence compliance with the audit committee requirements no later than December 28, 2020.
The
Board is in the process of evaluating prospective Board members who could serve as independent directors to regain compliance
with the requirements of Listing Rule 5605 promptly, and before 45 days if possible.
