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

On October 2, 2013, Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. (Nasdaq:TBAC) (the "Company") received notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department that its application to transfer the listing for its common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market has been approved effective as of the date of the notice. Therefore, the Company’s common stock was transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on October 4, 2013.

As previously announced, on April 2, 2013, the Company received a deficiency letter notifying it that the Company no longer meets the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1).  In lieu of seeking to remain on the Nasdaq Global Market, the Company has elected to move its listing to the Nasdaq Capital Market.  In connection with the transfer of the listing of the Company's common stock to the NASDAQ Capital Market, the Company is eligible for an additional 180 days, or until March 31, 2014, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule by maintaining a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 for ten consecutive business days.  Following the move to the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “TBAC”.
