On July 7, 2017, The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, since the Company has not yet held an annual meeting of stockholders within twelve months of the end of the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5620(a) and 5810(c)(2)(G).

The notification received has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq.
