ITEM 3.01

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

On June 7, 2018, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), which stated that in a Form 8-K filed on May 3, 2018, the Company announced that on April 27, 2018, Mr. Justo Pozo notified the Company of his decision to not stand for re-election at the Company’s Annual Meeting.  The letter indicated that as a result of this departure, the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s requirement to have a majority of independent directors on the board as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605.

Consistent with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1)(A), Nasdaq has provided the Company a cure period in order to regain compliance as follows:

·

until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or June 6, 2019; or

·

if the next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before December 3, 2018, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than December 3, 2018.

The Company’s Board of Directors is actively conducting a search for a new independent director, and the Company intends to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 prior to the applicable deadline set by Nasdaq.
