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

 

On January 14, 2010, Cycle Country Accessories Corp. (“Cycle Country”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from NYSE Amex LLC (the “Exchange”) that, based on the Exchange’s review of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) EDGAR database, it has determined that Cycle Country is out of compliance with the Exchange’s continued listing requirements in Section 134 and 1101 of the Exchange’s Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) for its failure to timely file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.  In addition, the Exchange has asserted this failure to file is a material violation of its listing agreement with the Exchange and Cycle Country is now subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide.

 

In order to maintain its listing, Cycle Country must submit a plan of compliance (a “Plan”) to the Exchange by January 28, 2010 advising the Exchange of the actions it has or will take to bring itself back into compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the Company Guide no later than April 14, 2010.  If the Exchange accepts the Plan, Cycle Country will be subject to periodic review by the Exchange to determine whether it is making progress consistent with the Plan.  If Cycle Country does not submit a Plan or its Plan is not accepted by the Exchange it will be subject to delisting proceedings.  The Exchange staff also may initiate delisting proceedings if Cycle Country does not come into compliance with the identified standards by April 14, 2010 or fails to make progress in implementing the Plan during the period covered by the Plan.

 

The Notice also states that, as a result of the resignation of L.G. (Bob) Hancher, Jr. on January 6, 2010,  Cycle Country is out of compliance with Section 801(h) of the Company Guide, since its board of directors is no longer comprised of at least 50% independent directors.  The Exchange has given Cycle Country until the earlier of its next annual shareholders’ meeting or one year from January 10, 2010 to regain compliance with this section.

 

The Notice also states that Cycle Country is out of compliance with Section 803(2)(c) of the Company Guide for not having two members on its audit committee and Section 802(d) of the Company Guide for not having roughly equal sized classes of its classified Board.  In the Notice, the Exchange has given Cycle Country until the earlier of its next annual shareholders’ meeting or one year from January 6, 2010 to regain compliance with these sections.

 

Cycle Country previously reported on the resignation of Mr. Hancher and the impact of the resignation, including certain of the noncompliance issues with the Exchange requirements, in its current report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on January 8, 2010.
