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

On September 11, 2020, JAKKS Pacific, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Company is required to maintain a minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (“MVPHS”) of $15,000,000 and for the last 30 consecutive business days the Company no longer met this requirement (the “September 11 Letter”). The Company has until March 10, 2021 (the “Compliance Period”) to cure this deficiency and/or meet any of Nasdaq’s other alternative continuing qualification criteria. If at any time during the Compliance Period the Company’s MVPHS closes at $15,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed.

The issuance of the September 11 Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common shares, which will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “JAKK” during the Compliance Period.
