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

 

As previously disclosed, on November 16, 2015, Inventergy Global, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2,500,000 (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”) for continued listing on Nasdaq. On December 31, 2015, the Company provided Nasdaq with a written plan to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.  Nasdaq subsequently granted the Company an extension period of 180 days from the date of the Notice to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. On May 19, 2016, the Company received a written notice from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it did not meet the terms of the aforementioned extension granted by Nasdaq with regard to the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.

 

As permitted under Nasdaq rules, the Company intends to appeal the delisting determination in front of a hearings panel and the Company’s common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq while such appeal is pending. The Company believes that it will regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement by the time it completes the appeal process based on the facts that the Company had stockholders’ equity of approximately $1.7 million as of March 31, 2016, raised net proceeds of approximately $1.5 million in two financings in May 2016, and is in negotiations with multiple parties following receipt of offers for licensing and sales of certain of its patents.
