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

(a) On May 8, 2013, Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received written notice (the “Notice”) from the NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that the Company is no longer in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. NASDAQ Capital Market Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Listing Rule”) requires registrants to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders equity unless the registrant has met one of the alternative standards of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations. In the Company’s Form 10-K for the period ended February 2, 2013, the Company reported a stockholders’ deficit of $30.6 million as a result of a net loss of $33.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The Company’s net loss included $39.3 million of non-cash charges comprised of $35.8 million for impairment of trade names, $2.5 million for impairment of store assets and $1.0 million for a non-cash loss recorded for accounting purposes in relation to sale leaseback transactions from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. As such, the Company is currently not in compliance with the Listing Rule due to its shortfall in stockholders’ equity. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock.

In the Notice, NASDAQ requested the Company to provide its plan to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements before June 24, 2013. If NASDAQ accepts the plan, it can grant the Company an additional 180 days from the date of the Notice for the Company to evidence compliance with the Listing Rule. If NASDAQ does not accept the plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal any delisting decision to a NASDAQ Listings Qualifications Panel. The Company is currently evaluating various alternative courses of action to regain compliance. The Company does not intend to update this Current Report on Form 8-K for purposes of disclosing any action or response that the Company decides to take after the filing of this report.
