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

(a)  On January 2, 2009 MRU Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter dated January 2, 2009 from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) advising the Company that, unless the Company appeals Nasdaq’s determination that the Company is not in compliance with Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(3), trading in the Company’s Common Stock will be suspended at the opening of business on January 13, 2009 and that a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which will have the effect of removing the Company’s Common Stock from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

According to the Letter, Nasdaq’s basis for this determination is the Company’s failure to maintain a minimum stockholders’ equity of $10,000,000, as required by Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(3) and the Company’s inability to regain compliance with this requirement since the date (September 18, 2008) of Nasdaq’s initial notification to the Company of this deficiency.

The Company intends to appeal the delisting determination by requesting a hearing with the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”). A hearing request will stay the delisting of the Company’s Common Stock pending the Panel’s decision. There can be no assurance that the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq will be granted by the Panel.

On January 8, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing receipt of the January 2, 2009 Nasdaq letter as required by Marketplace Rule 4804(b).

A copy of the press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8−K.
