Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On February 9, 2015, Capitol Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) received notice that a Nasdaq Hearings Panel had granted the Company’s request for continued listing of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), subject to certain conditions.

 

The Company had requested a hearing to appeal the Nasdaq Staff’s determination to delist the Company’s securities for failure to solicit proxies and hold an annual meeting of stockholders within 12 months after its fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rules 5620(a) and (b). The hearing was held before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel on February 5, 2015.

 

The Nasdaq Hearings Panel’s decision is subject to certain conditions, including without limitation that, on or before May 15, 2015, the Company complete a business combination and receive from the Nasdaq Staff a determination that the business combination will meet all initial listing criteria for listing on Nasdaq. Failure to comply with the conditions could result in the delisting of the Company’s securities from Nasdaq. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to satisfy these conditions.
