Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
General Employment Enterprises, Inc. (the ”Company”) (NYSE MKT: JOB) today announced that on January 17, 2013 and February 21, 2013 the Company received notices from the NYSE MKT staff indicating that the Company is below certain of the Exchange’s continued listing standards due to its delinquency in filing Form 10-K for fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and the delinquency in filing Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, as set forth in sections 134 and 1101 of the NYSE MKT Company Guide. The Company was afforded the opportunity to submit a plan of compliance to the Exchange and on January 31, 2013 presented its plan for both reports to the Exchange. On March 5, 2013 the Exchange notified the Company that it accepted the Company’s plan of compliance and granted the Company an extension until May 1, 2013 to regain compliance with the continued listing standards. The Company will be subject to periodic review by the Exchange staff during the extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the extension period could result in the Company being delisted from the NYSE MKT LLC.
On March 11, 2013 a press release announcing the NYSE MKT LLC acceptance of the plan was issued. A copy of the press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
