Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a
Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On
December 4, 2017, Origo Acquisition Corporation (the “
Company
”) received written notice from the Listing Qualifications
Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“
Nasdaq
”) indicating that the Company did not satisfy Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5620(a) (the “
Annual Meeting Requirement
”) because the Company did not timely hold an annual meeting for
the fiscal year ended November 30, 2016 on or before November 30, 2017. The notice indicated that the Company’s non-compliance
with the Annual Meeting Requirement could serve as an additional basis for the delisting of the Company’s securities from
The Nasdaq Capital Market and, as such, the Company should present its plan to evidence compliance with that requirement for review
by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “
Panel
”).
As
previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 28, 2017, on August 23, 2017, the Company
received written notice from Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the Company’s continued non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5550(a)(3) (the “
Minimum Public Holders Rule
”), which requires the Company to evidence a minimum of 300
public holders, the Company’s securities would be subject to delisting unless the Company timely requested a hearing before
the Panel.
The
Company timely requested a hearing and presented its plan to evidence compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule for the Panel’s
consideration, subsequent to which the Panel granted the Company’s request for the continued listing of its securities on
The Nasdaq Capital Market subject to the Company evidencing compliance with all applicable requirements for listing on Nasdaq by
no later than February 19, 2018, including compliance with the applicable criteria for initial listing upon completion of the Company’s
proposed business combination with Hightimes Holding Corp.
The
Company plans to provide an update to the Panel regarding its plan to evidence compliance with the Annual Meeting Requirement.
SIGNATURES
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.
