Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On February 4, 2020, Schmitt Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing its intention to delist its common stock (the “Common Stock”) from the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”). The Company notified NASDAQ on February 3, 2020, of its intent to voluntarily delist its Common Stock from NASDAQ and deregister the Common Stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In connection therewith, the Company notified NASDAQ of the Company’s intention to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or about February 14, 2020. The Company anticipates that the Form 25 will become effective 10 days following its filing, or approximately February 24, 2020. Following delisting from NASDAQ, the Common Stock will be listed on the OTC Pink Market under the Company’s current trading symbol, “SMIT.” After the effective date of the delisting of the Common Stock from NASDAQ, the Company intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC to voluntarily effect the deregistration of the Common Stock. Upon the filing of the Form 15, the Company’s obligations to file certain reports with the SEC, including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, will immediately be suspended.

A copy of the Press Release that includes the announcement of the above is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

 

Item 8.01

Other Events.

On January 31, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with former director David Hudson to initiate a cashless exercise for 64,166 of his stock options, whereby the Company will purchase 36,000 shares of Common Stock for $3.25 per share from Mr. Hudson to fund the exercise of his remaining 28,166 shares of Common Stock. This transaction is outside of the recently announced $2 million share repurchase plan (the “Plan”). To date, no shares have been repurchased under the Plan, which remains active.

The Press Release issued on February 4, 2020 includes the announcement of the above and is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
