Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued
Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported, Westell Technologies, Inc. (the Company)
was notified by the NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ) on July 1, 2016,
that the bid price for the Companys Class A Common Stock was not
in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of NASDAQ
Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1) (the Rule) for continued listing. At
that time, NASDAQ gave the Company 180 calendar days, or until
December 28, 2016, to regain compliance.
On December 14, 2016, the Company applied to transfer the listing
of its stock from the NASDAQ Global Select Market to the NASDAQ
Capital Market. The NASDAQ Capital Market is a continuous trading
market that operates in substantially the same manner as the
NASDAQ Global Select Market and listed companies must meet
certain financial requirements and comply with NASDAQs corporate
governance requirements.
On December 23, 2016, NASDAQ approved the Companys transfer
application. This transfer was effective at the opening of
business on Wednesday, December 28, 2016. The Companys common
stock has continued to trade under the symbol WSTL. On December
29, 2016, NASDAQ approved an additional 180 calendar day
compliance period to regain compliance with the minimum bid
requirement. The Company has until June 26, 2017, to demonstrate
compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued
listing.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its Class
A Common Stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing
available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price
requirement under the NASDAQ Listing Rules.
On January 3, 2017, the Company issued a news release announcing
the approval to list its securities on the NASDAQ Capital Market
and the additional 180 calendar day grace period for compliance.
The full text of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit
99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
