Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
 
Eastern Light Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) has been notified by the NYSE Amex LLC (the “Exchange”) that a Listing Qualifications Panel of the Exchange’s Committee on Securities (the “Panel”) has determined to delist the Company’s common stock from the Exchange based upon the Company’s non-compliance with Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide due to stockholders’ equity of less than $6,000,000.  As previously disclosed, the Exchange’s Corporate Compliance Staff previously granted the Company’s request for an extension to evidence compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement; however, the Company was unable to timely satisfy the terms of the Staff extension and requested a hearing before the Panel seeking continued listing on the Exchange.  The Panel has denied the Company’s request, and the Company does not intend to appeal the Panel’s decision.
 
The Company has been advised by OTC Markets Group Inc., which operates an electronic quotation service for securities traded over-the-counter (“OTC”), that its securities are immediately eligible for quotation on the OTCQB following the suspension of trading on the Exchange, which is expected to occur with the open of business on January 23, 2012.  The OTCQB is a market tier for OTC traded companies that are registered and reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Additional information regarding the OTC market can be found at http://www.otcmarkets.com.
