Item 3.01

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

On March 4, 2015, The Standard Register Company (the Company) received formal written notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) that trading in the Companys common stock was suspended before the market opened on March 4, 2015.  The NYSE based its action under Section 802.01B of the NYSEs Listed Company Manual because the Company has fallen below the NYSEs continued listing standard which requires listed companies to maintain an average global market capitalization of not less than $15,000,000 over a consecutive 30-day trading period.

The NYSE further informed the Company that it would apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Companys common stock under Exchange Act Rule 12d-2 upon the completion of all applicable procedures, including appeals. However, the Company has notified the NYSE that considering the cost of an appeal and the likelihood of success, it does not intend to appeal.

On March 4, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing the foregoing and announcing that its common shares will be available for trading over-the-counter on the OTC Pink Marketplace under the symbol SRCT beginning at 9:00 AM on March 4, 2015.  A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference under this Item 3.01.
