Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On January 12, 2016, the Company filed with the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") an interim written affirmation (the "Interim Written Affirmation") notifying the NYSE that, due to the resignation of independent director David Savett from the Company's board of directors on January 6, 2016, as described in Item 5.02 of this current report on Form 8-K, beginning January 6, 2016 the Company did not satisfy the requirements of Section 303A.07 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, which requires that the audit committee of a listed company have a minimum of three members, each of whom satisfies the independence requirements set forth in Section 303A.02.
The Interim Written Affirmation further notified the NYSE that in order to cure the deficiency, on January 11, 2016, the board of directors added director Christina Tan to its audit committee and accordingly, in accordance with Section 303A.07 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the board of directors now has an audit committee that consists of three members, each of whom satisfies the independence requirements set forth in Section 303A.02.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
David Savett resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company effective January 6, 2016.
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, thereunto duly authorized.
