Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard: Transfer of Listing
 
On September 28, 2018, National American University Holdings, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us,” “NAUH,” or the “Company”) received written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that the closing bid price for our common stock had been below $1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive business days, and that the Company therefore is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
 
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until March 27, 2019, to regain compliance. In order to regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price rule, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 or higher for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the compliance period.  If the Company does not regain compliance during the initial compliance period, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of its publicly held shares and all other Nasdaq initial listing standards, except the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of the Company’s intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, we expect that Nasdaq will grant the Company the additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, we expect that Nasdaq will provide written notice to us that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting.
 
The written notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market. The Company intends to monitor its closing bid price for its common stock between now and March 27, 2019, and will consider available options to resolve the Company’s noncompliance with the minimum bid price requirement, as may be necessary.
