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

On November 8, 2017, Turtle Beach Corporation (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) relating to the minimum bid price requirement contained in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Rule”). As previously disclosed, on May 9, 2017, the Company received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the Rule because the bid price for its common stock had closed below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until November 6, 2017, to regain compliance with the Rule. The Notice provided that, since the Company had not regained compliance with the Rule, the Company’s common stock would be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market on November 17, 2017 if the Company did not request an appeal of such determination.

On November 9, 2017, the Company made such a request to the Nasdaq hearing panel and on November 13, 2017 the Company received written notice from the NASDAQ that a hearing of the Company’s appeal will be held on January 11, 2018 which stayed the potential delisting of the Company’s common stock under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a)(1) pending the hearing panel’s decision. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(c)(1)(A), the Nasdaq hearing panel is authorized to provide the Company an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, which the Company intends to request at the hearing.  The Company expects to provide the Nasdaq hearing panel with a plan of action, with the intention of regaining compliance with Nasdaq’s requirements.
