DASAN ZHONE SOLUTIONS, INC. (NASDAQ:DZSI) Files An 8-K Other Events

Item 8.01

Other Events.
On June 7, 2017, DASAN Zhone Solutions, Inc. (the Company) received
a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) stating that the
Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the Panel) has granted the Companys request
for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market provided that,
on or before September 27, 2017, the Company shall have filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) its Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the Form 10-K)
and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31,
2017 (the Form 10-Q). In addition, the Panel decision requires that
the Company be able to demonstrate compliance with all requirements
for continued listing on Nasdaq and that the Company provide prompt
notification of any significant events that occur during the
extension period (including any event that may call into question
the Companys historical financial information or that may impact
the Companys ability to maintain compliance with any Nasdaq listing
requirement or deadline for the filing of the Form 10-K and Form
10-Q).
As previously reported, on April 6, 2017 and May 17, 2017, the
Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq notified the Company that it
was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) due to
its failure to timely file the Form 10-K and the Form 10-Q,
respectively, and that the late filing of such reports served as an
immediate basis for delisting unless the Company timely requested a
hearing before the Panel. The Company timely requested a hearing
and, on April 20, 2017, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq
indicating that the Panel had granted the Companys request to
extend the stay of the suspension of trading in the Companys common
stock pending the Companys scheduled hearing before the Panel on
May 25, 2017 and a final determination regarding the Companys
listing status.
The Panel reserved the right to reconsider the terms of its
decision based on any event, condition or circumstance that exists
or develops that would, in the opinion of the Panel, make continued
listing of the Companys securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or
unwarranted. In addition, any compliance document will be subject
to review by the Panel, which may, in its discretion, request
additional information before determining that the Company has
complied with the terms of the exception. In addition, the Nasdaq
Listing and Hearing Review Council may review the Panel decision,
in which event it may affirm, modify, reverse or remand the
decision to the Panel.
In the event the Company is unable to fully comply with the terms
of the Panel decision, the Companys common stock may be delisted
from The Nasdaq Capital Market. The delisting of the Companys
common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market could have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s business and on the trading of its
common stock.
On June 8, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing its
receipt of the Nasdaq letter. A copy of the press release is
attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by
reference.
