Item 8.01. Other Events.

On February 27, 2013, Swisher Hygiene Inc. (the “Company”) provided the NASDAQ Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) an update on the Company’s compliance efforts and requested a further extension of time to become current in the filing of its periodic reports. The Company requested an extension through March 15, 2013 to file its Form 10-Qs for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 31, 2012 (collectively, the “2012 Form 10-Qs”). Additionally, the Company requested an extension through April 30, 2013 to file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”).

On February 28, 2013, the Company received a letter from the Panel granting the Company continued listing on The NASDAQ Stock Market through March 15, 2013, provided the Company files the 2012 Form 10-Qs by March 15, 2013. The Panel also advised the Company that it will retain jurisdiction to make a determination whether to continue listing the Company through the filing of the 2012 Form 10-K.

The Company is working to file the 2012 Form 10-Qs by March 15, 2013 and the 2012 Form 10-K by April 30, 2012, however the Company can provide no assurance as to when it will complete these filings and can provide no assurance that it will remain listed on NASDAQ following the expiration of the March 15, 2013 extension.

In connection with the receipt of the Panel’s letter, the Company issued a press release on March 1, 2013, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
