On November 30, 2015, Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, because the closing bid price for its Common Stock had been below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days, it no longer complied with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). On December 17, 2015, the Staff notified the Company that it has determined that for the last 10 consecutive business days, from December 3, 2015 to December 16, 2015, the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock has been at or above the minimum $1.00 per share. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and this matter is now closed.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused

this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
