Simulations Plus, Inc. (NASDAQ:SLP) Files An 8-K Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

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

As previously reported by Simulations Plus, Inc., a California
corporation (the Company), on a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed
by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
December 1, 2016, on November 28, 2016, after 20 years of service
as director of the Company, Dr. David DArgenio retired from his
position as an independent director of the Company. Dr. DArgenio
has served the Company well and will be greatly missed for his
insight into the pharmaceutical industry and his understanding of
modeling and simulation. The Board of Directors of the Company
has begun a search for a suitable replacement and intends on
spending the appropriate amount of time to find a candidate with
the appropriate background and insight into the software and
pharmaceutical sciences industry.

As a result of Dr. DArgenios resignation, the Company currently
has only 2 independent directors serving on its Board of
Directors and only 2 independent directors on the Audit Committee
of the Board of Directors, and therefore it currently does not
comply with NASDAQs independent director and audit committee
requirements set forth in Listing Rule 5605. On December 7, 2016,
the Company received notice from Nasdaq that due to Dr. DArgenios
resignation, the Company currently does not comply with Nasdaqs
independent director and audit committee requirements set forth
in Listing Rule 5605. On December 7, 2016, the Company notified
Nasdaq that the Company would likely not meet the two week
replacement deadline for an independent director, and consistent
with Listing Rules 5605(b)(1)(A) and 5605(c)(4), Nasdaq has
granted the Company a cure period of six months until no later
than May 30, 2017 (as the Companys annual shareholders meeting is
prior to such date), to provide evidence of compliance with
Nasdaqs listing requirements.
