Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 18, 2018, Longfin Corp. (the “Company”), received a notice (the “Notice”) from the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”), indicating that the Company does not comply with the NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) due to the Company not having included the signatures of a majority of the members of its Board of Directors in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “Annual Report”) that it filed with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 2, 2018.
NASDAQ elected to exercise its discretionary authority under the Listing Rule 5101 to require the Company to submit a plan of compliance regarding the deficiency described above by no later than April 25, 2018.
However, immediately prior to the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company filed an amendment to the Annual Report that included a majority of the members of its Board of Directors, resolving this instance of non-compliance. The Company remains non-compliant with Rule 5250(c)(1) because it did not file a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, as previously reported in an Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 6, 2018.
