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

On July 12, 2013, U.S. Auto Parts Network, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), which was in response to the Company’s notice to Nasdaq on July 9, 2013 that the Company’s Board of Directors was no longer comprised of a majority of independent directors as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) (the “Original Notice”). The Original Notice was reported by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 10, 2013.

The Company intends to regain compliance with the requirement that its Board of Directors have a majority of independent directors prior to the expiration of the cure period provided pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1)(A). The Company is currently conducting a director search in the exercise of due care for a new candidate as soon as practicable.

Forward-Looking Statements

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results to be materially different from any results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For example, there is a risk associated with the Company’s inability to regain compliance with applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. Risk factors related to the Company and its business are discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 and other filings with the SEC. Except as required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements are based.
