REAL GOODS SOLAR, INC. (NASDAQ:RGSE) Files An 8-K Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On August 18, 2017, Real Goods Solar, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), notifying the Company that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company’s Class A common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on Nasdaq based on Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and describing a timetable for bringing the Company into compliance with that rule.

The Company’s Class A common stock remains listed on Nasdaq under the symbol RGSE. Under Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until February 14, 2018, to regain compliance. If at any time before then, the Company’s Class A common stock has a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq staff will notify the Company that it has regained compliance.

If the Company has not met the requirements of Rule 5550(a)(2) by February 14, 2018, but meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable standards for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (other than the minimum bid price requirement), then the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 day compliance period. In order to qualify, the Company will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If it appears to Nasdaq staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, the Nasdaq staff will provide notice that the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting.

The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price for its Class A common stock and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement, including a possible reverse stock split.
