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

On May 12, 2010, the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) issued a press release announcing the commencement of suspension procedures with respect to the 4Kids Entertainment, Inc.’s (the “ Company ”) common stock due to the Company’s failure to maintain average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading day period of not less than $15 million.

The Company has a right to a review of the NYSE’s determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation (the “Committee”). The NYSE indicated that a suspension date will be announced at such time as i) the Company does not request a review by the Committee within 10 business days of the NYSE’s press release; ii) the subsequent review of the Committee determines that the Company should be suspended; iii) the Company is approved to commence trading in another securities marketplace or; iv) there are other material developments.

The Company is considering whether to request a review of the determination by the NYSE. If the Company does not request a review or if its common stock is suspended from trading on the NYSE, it is expected that the Company will make arrangements for its common stock to trade on the over-the-counter market.
