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

As previously disclosed on a Form 8-K filed on September 22, 2016, on September 20, 2016, Rand Logistics, Inc.

On March 21, 2017, the Company received a written notice from Nasdaq that the Company’s common stock has not regained compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement within the 180 calendar days. However, the Staff has determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(a), or until September 18, 2017. If at any time during this 180 days period the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Company will regain compliance. In order to regain compliance, the Company may have to affect a reverse stock-split. If the Company is required to affect a reverse stock-split, it would have to be completed at least 10 days prior to the expiration of the date by which the Company must regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2).
