Section 3 – Securities and Trading Markets

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

As disclosed in Item 5.02 of the Current Report on Form 8-K of The Female Health Company (the "Company") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 10, 2013, Michael R. Walton retired from the Company's Board of Directors effective as of September 9, 2013.  Mr. Walton was also a member of the Audit Committee of the Board, and as a result of Mr. Walton's retirement the Audit Committee only has two members.

On September 18, 2013, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") noting that the Company was no longer in compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(c)(2), which requires the Company to have at least three independent directors serving on its Audit Committee.

NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(c)(4)(B) provides the Company with a cure period to fill the vacancy on its Audit Committee until the earlier of the Company's next annual meeting of shareholders or September 9, 2014.  The Company's Board plans to name an independent director to serve on the Audit Committee as its third member to cure this deficiency during the cure period.

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to comply with applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and to comply with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5810(b).
