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

(a) On March 17, 2016, Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter from an Associate Director of NASDAQ Listing Qualifications. The notification letter stated that because the Company has not yet filed its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company is no longer in compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires timely filing of periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Under the NASDAQ Listing Rules, the Company has until May 16, 2016, to submit a plan to NASDAQ setting forth how it plans to regain compliance with NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements. If the Company is unable to file its Form 10-K by May 16, 2016, then the Company intends to submit a compliance plan on or prior to that date. The Company does not expect submission of a compliance plan will be necessary as it anticipates filing its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 by March 30, 2016.

If submission of a compliance plan is necessary and NASDAQ accepts the Company’s plan, NASDAQ can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the filing’s due date, or until August 29, 2016, to regain compliance. The Company may regain compliance at any time during this 180-day period upon filing with the SEC its Form 10-K, as well as all subsequent required periodic financial reports that are due within that period. If NASDAQ does not accept the Company’s plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a NASDAQ Hearings Panel. The NASDAQ notification letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.
