SOHU.COM INC. (NASDAQ:SOHU) 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.

As previously reported in a Form 8-K filed on January 25, 2017, Dr. Edward B. Roberts resigned from the registrant’s Board of Directors effective January 31, 2017. As a result the compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the registrant’s Board of Directors has only one member, and the registrant no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(d)(2), which requires companies with securities listed on Nasdaq to have a compensation committee composed of at least two directors.

The registrant notified the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Nasdaq Staff”) on January 31, 2017 that the Compensation Committee has only one member and the registrant no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(d)(2).

As previously reported in the registrant’s Form 8-K filed on January 25, 2017, the registrant will rely on the cure period provided by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(d)(4), which will permit the vacancy on the Compensation Committee to continue until July 30, 2017. As also previously reported, the registrant expects to fill the vacancy before the expiration of the cure period.

On February 1, 2017, the registrant received a letter from the Nasdaq Staff confirming that it had received notice from the registrant that the registrant no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605. The letter from the Nasdaq Staff confirmed that the registrant may rely on the cure period provided by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(d)(4).
