Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On January 3, 2018, JM Global Holding Company (the “Company”) received written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a), which requires an issuer to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the Company's fiscal year-end (the “Annual Meeting Rule”), the Company would be required to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Annual Meeting Rule for the Staff’s consideration by no later than February 20, 2018. The Notice has no immediate impact on the Company’s listing or trading in the Company’s securities on Nasdaq.
The Company intends to timely submit a compliance plan for the Staff’s review. If the Staff accepts the plan, the Staff may grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, through June 29, 2018, to evidence compliance with the Annual Meeting Rule. If the Staff does not accept the Company’s plan, the Company would be entitled to request a hearing, at which hearing it would present its plan to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel and request the continued listing of its securities on Nasdaq pursuant to and pending the completion of such plan. During the pendency of the hearing process, the Company’s securities would continue to be listed on Nasdaq.
