Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 28, 2016, 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 November 29, 2016, Staff has determined that for the last 10 consecutive business days, from November 14, 2016 to November 28, 2016, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock has been at $1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and this matter is now closed.
