Item 3.01   Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
(a) On October 3, 2007, BPI Energy Holdings, Inc. (“BPI”) received a letter from the American Stock Exchange (“Amex”) informing BPI that it is currently not in compliance with Rule 121(B)(2)(a) of the Amex Company Guide, which requires BPI’s audit committee to consist of at least three independent directors. BPI’s Audit Committee membership decreased to two directors upon William J. Centa’s resignation from the Board of Directors on September 13, 2007 (as reported in BPI’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 19, 2007). The letter from Amex is a “warning letter” and provides BPI until January 3, 2008 to regain compliance with the Amex requirements by appointing an additional independent director to serve on the Audit Committee. BPI has commenced a search for a qualified individual to fill its Audit Committee vacancy and expects to fill the vacancy within a reasonable time.
     On October 9, 2007, pursuant to Section 402(g) of the Amex Company Guide, BPI issued a press release reporting its receipt of the warning letter and its intention to regain compliance as soon as practicable. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
