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

As previously reported, on August 20, 2015, Echo Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that it was no longer in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires listed companies to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million. In the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2015, the Company reported stockholders’ equity (deficit) of ($1,637,729). Further, as of August 20, 2015, the Company did not meet the alternative compliance standards relating to the $35,000,000 market value of listed securities or $500,000 net income from continuing operations.

This notification had no immediate effect on the Company’s listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq provided the Company with 45 calendar days from the receipt of the Nasdaq letter to submit a plan to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity standard. If the Company’s plan to regain compliance was accepted, Nasdaq indicated that they may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the notification letter to evidence compliance.

On October 5, 2015, we submitted our plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity standard. On October 26, 2015, based on our submission, Nasdaq granted the Company the maximum allowable 180 day extension to February 16, 2016 to evidence compliance with the listing standards.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance. If the Company does not regain compliance, or if the Company fails to satisfy another Nasdaq requirement for continued listing, Nasdaq staff could provide notice that the Company's common stock will become subject to delisting. In the event of delisting, the Company expects that its stock would trade on the OTC Markets.
