Delta Technology Holdings Limited (the “Company”) previously reported that on October 30, 2014, it received notice from the Listing Qualification Staff (the “Staff”) of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) that following the Company’s initial business combination on September 19, 2014, and the subsequent mandatory separation of the Company’s units, which ceased trading on NASDAQ along with the Company’s Class A Shares on October 1, 2014, the Company’s warrants (the “Warrants”), trading under the symbol “CISAW”, do not comply with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5560(a), which requires, in part, that warrants listed on NASDAQ must have an underlying security that is also listed on NASDAQ or a Covered Security.

 

On November 3, 2014, the Company appealed the Staff’s determination by requesting a hearing before the NASDAQ Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), which was held on December 4, 2014.

 

On December 11, 2014, the Company received a written decision (the “Decision”) from the NASDAQ Office of General Counsel informing the Company that the Panel has granted the Company’s request for continued listing of the Warrants on NASDAQ until the listing application of the Company’s ordinary shares is completed or until April 29, 2015, whichever is earlier, provided that on or before April 29, 2015, the Company’s application for listing on NASDAQ shall have been approved by the Staff, and that the ordinary shares underlying the Warrants are trading on NASDAQ. If no determination on the application has been communicated to the Company by April 29, 2015, the Panel will suspend trading and take steps to delist the Warrants.

 

The Company issued a press release on December 16, 2014, announcing the receipt of the Decision from NASDAQ. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
