Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or
Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 13, 2020, Iconix Brand Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The
Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that the Staff of
Nasdaq has determined that the minimum market value of its publicly held common
stock (the "Market Value of Publicly Held Shares") fell below $15,000,000 for a
period of 30 consecutive business days (from February 24, 2020 through April 9,
2020) and that, therefore, the Company did not meet the minimum market value of
publicly held shares requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(c)
(the "Minimum Market Value Rule"). The letter also states that pursuant to
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company will be provided 180 calendar
days to regain compliance with the Minimum Market Value Rule, which period
expires October 12, 2020. In accordance with Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company can
regain compliance with the Minimum Market Value Rule, if, at any time during
such 180-day period, the Market Value of Publicly Held Shares of the Company's
common stock is at least $15,000,000 for a minimum period of 10 consecutive
business days. If the Company cannot demonstrate compliance with the Minimum
Market Value Rule, the letter further provided that the Company will receive
written notice from Nasdaq that its securities are subject to delisting from the
Nasdaq Global Market. If the Company does not regain compliance within the
allotted compliance period, including any extensions that may be granted by
Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company's shares of common stock
will be subject to delisting. At such time, the Company may appeal the delisting
determination to a Hearings Panel.
On April 16, 2020, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC approved relief for certain
filers with respect to the Minimum Market Value Rule. As a result, the Company
has until December 24, 2020, to regain compliance with the Minimum Market Value
Rule. The Company intends to monitor the market value of its publicly held
common stock between now and December 24, 2020, and will consider available
options to resolve the Company's noncompliance with the Minimum Market Value
Rule, as may be necessary. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to regain compliance with the Minimum Market Value Rule or will otherwise
be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.
