On November 16, 2017, Jamba, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing an update for fiscal year 2017 third quarter and status of the Company’s Form 10-K and 10-Q filings, and announced receipt of a notification letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) as described below. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

Item 3.01   Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On November 13, 2017, as anticipated, the Company  received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of the Company’s delay in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended October 3, 2017 and because the Company remains delinquent in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2017 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended April 4 and July 4, 2017.  The Notification Letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

 

As previously disclosed, the Company was unable to file its delinquent periodic reports prior to the September 18, 2017 extension date originally granted by Nasdaq, and as a result, the Company requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to address the delinquent Form 10-K and Form 10-Qs, at which time it would also address the additional delinquency of the Third Quarter Form 10-Q.  The hearing occurred on November 16, 2017, with the Company presenting to the Panel its plan to regain compliance with the Rule.  The Panel previously granted the Company's request to extend the automatic 15-day stay of suspension from The Nasdaq Stock Market. The stay, which allows for the continued trading of the Company's common stock on Nasdaq, will continue until a final determination regarding the Company's listing status is issued after the November 16, 2017 hearing.  

 

The Company fully intends to continue to take all steps necessary to regain compliance with the Rule and expects to file its fiscal year 2016 Form 10-K and delinquent Form 10-Qs from 2017 as soon as is practicable, with timing contingent on completion of financial statements and their subsequent audit and review, respectively.

The Company issued a press release on November 16, 2017 disclosing the Company’s receipt of the Nasdaq notification letter. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
