Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
By letter dated April 17, 2013, the NYSE MKT LLC (the “Exchange”) notified Arrhythmia Research Technology, Inc. (the "Company") that it is not in compliance with certain of the Exchange's continued listing standards as set forth in Sections 134 and 1101 of the Exchange's Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) as a result of the failure to file its annual report on Form 10-K on a timely basis. The Company has therefore become subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide. Such procedures require the Company to communicate with the Exchange by April 23, 2013 to confirm receipt of the letter and indicate whether or not it intends to submit a plan of compliance. The Company intends to submit a plan of compliance to the Exchange by May 1, 2013 in accordance with the notice advising the Exchange of action it has taken or intends to take that will bring the Company into compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the Company Guide by no later than July 16, 2013. If the plan is accepted but the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards of the Company Guide by July 16, 2013 or if the Company is not making progress consistent with the plan, the Company may be subject to delisting procedures.
On April 23, 2013, the Company issued a press release regarding the notice. A copy of the Company's press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.01.
