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

On April 16, 2019, Top Image Systems Ltd. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that Nasdaq has determined that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) due to the Company’s failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Nasdaq letter notes that, under Nasdaq rules, the Company has 60 calendar days from the date of the letter, until June 17, 2019, to submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s filing requirements for continued listing. If the Company submits a plan and it is accepted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq is permitted to grant an extension of up to 180 days from the Form 10-K’s filing due date for the Company to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s filing requirements for continued listing. The Nasdaq notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
 
Separately, on April 18, 2019, the Company received notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Company was granted an additional 180 calendar days, or until October 14, 2019 to comply with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement.  The continued listing standard will be met if the Company's ordinary shares have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive business days during the 180 calendar day grace period.

The Company signed a definitive merger agreement on February 4, 2019 to be acquired by Kofax Holdings International Ltd. (“Kofax”), and as previously announced, at an extraordinary general meeting held April 4, 2019, the shareholders of the Company voted to approve the merger with Kofax.  The Company expects the closing of the merger to occur the week of May 6, 2019, at which time the Company intends to voluntarily delist its ordinary shares from the Nasdaq Capital Market, prior to the deadline to (i) submit the plan to regain compliance and (ii) comply with the minimum bid price requirement.

A press release, dated April 19, 2019, disclosing the Company’s receipt of the Nasdaq notification letter is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is furnished herewith.

Top Image Systems Receives Nasdaq Notice Regarding Non-Compliance with Continued Listing Standards; Is Granted Additional Time to Regain Compliance with Minimum Bid Requirement
 
TEL AVIV, Israel and PLANO, Texas, April 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Top Image Systems Ltd. (the “Company” or “Top Image Systems”) (Nasdaq:TISA) announced today that it has received a notice from Nasdaq on April 16, 2019 regarding non-compliance with continued listing standards because it has not filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2018 (the “Filing”).  The notice provides that, under Nasdaq Rules, the Company has until June 17, 2019 to submit a plan to regain compliance. Top Image Systems signed a definitive merger agreement on February 4, 2019 to be acquired by Kofax Holdings International Ltd. and expects the closing of this merger to occur the week of May 6, 2019, at which point Top Image Systems intends to voluntarily delist its ordinary shares from the Nasdaq Capital Market, prior to the deadline to submit the plan to regain compliance.
 
If the Company submits a plan to regain compliance by June 17, 2019, and if the plan is accepted, Nasdaq can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Filing, or until September 30, 2019, to regain compliance.
 
Separately, on April 18, 2019, the Company received notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Company was granted an additional 180 calendar days, or until October 14, 2019 to comply with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement.  The continued listing standard will be met if the Company's ordinary shares have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive business days during the 180 calendar day grace period.
 
Top Image System reiterates that it expects to voluntarily delist its ordinary shares from the Nasdaq Capital Market following the closing of the acquisition by Kofax, anticipated for the week of May 6, 2019 and before the deadline for submitting the plan and for complying with the minimum bid price requirement.
 
As previously announced, at an extraordinary general meeting held April 4, 2019, the shareholders of Top Image Systems voted overwhelmingly to approve the previously announced acquisition by Kofax. A quorum was achieved, and 99% of the voting shareholders approved the merger, anticipated to close after the 30-day period mandated by Israeli law.
