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

As previously disclosed, on April 17, 2019, Christopher & Banks Corporation (“CBK”) received notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Company is not in compliance with Section 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual (the “LCM”). That Section allows the NYSE to initiate suspension and delisting procedures with respect to a company determined to have an average market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period of less than $15.0 million. In connection therewith, trading in the Company’s common stock on the NYSE was suspended following the close of the NYSE market on Wednesday, April 17, 2019. On April 18, 2019, the Company’s common stock began trading on the OTC Markets Group under the symbol “CBKC”.

The Company exercised its right to seek review of this determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of the Exchange and a hearing before that Committee was scheduled for July 18, 2019. Following discussions with representatives of the NYSE, on July 17, 2019, the Company withdrew its appeal given its current market capitalization is below $15.0 million.

On July 17, 2019, the NYSE filed a Form 25 with the Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to effect the formal delisting of the Company’s common stock from the NYSE. The delisting of the Company’s common stock will become effective ten days after the Form 25 filing. The filing of the Form 25 by the NYSE will formally complete the delisting process.

The Form 25 filing will not cause the removal of any shares of the Company’s common stock from registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company will remain subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
