Item 8.01. Other Events.
Real Goods Solar, Inc. (the “Company”) is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) and, accordingly, for continued listing must comply with Nasdaq’s minimum shareholders’ equity requirement of $2.5 million. To regain compliance with the minimum shareholders’ equity requirement, the Company completed capital raises in 2016 and, as of today’s date, has shareholders’ equity in excess of $2.5 million.
The Company attended a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) on December 15, 2016 related to the Company’s previously reported non-compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum shareholders’ equity requirement. The Panel has not yet notified the Company of the outcome of the hearing. There can be no assurance that the Panel will permit the Company to retain its Nasdaq listing. The Company’s Class A common stock currently remains listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “RGSE.”
