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

 

On July 14, 2016, MoSys, Inc. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The NASDAQ Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) providing notification that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s audit committee composition requirements pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2). The notification has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “MOSY.”

 

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 requires a listed company to have an audit committee comprised of at least three independent members. Victor Lee, a former independent director and chairman of the Audit Committee, declined to stand for reelection at the Company’s 2016 annual meeting held on June 24, 2016.  As a result, the number of independent directors on the Company’s Audit Committee was reduced from three to two.

 

The letter also states that the Company will be provided: (i) until the earlier of the company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or June 24, 2017 or (ii) if the next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before December 21, 2016, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than December 21, 2016. If the Company does not regain compliance during this period, then the Staff will provide notice that the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting. At such time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (“Panel”). The Company would remain listed pending the Panel’s decision. There can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal a subsequent delisting determination by the Staff to the Panel, that such appeal would be successful.
