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

On January 8, 2009, NexCen Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter from the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”) announcing that the Listing Council has withdrawn its call for review of the September 2, 2008 decision of the Nasdaq Listing Qualification Panel, and has lifted the stay of delisting.  The letter states that the Company’s common stock will be suspended from trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market effective at the open of business on January 13, 2009 and that Nasdaq will move to delist the Company’s common stock.

Additionally, on January 6, 2009, the Company received a Nasdaq Staff Determination letter notifying the Company that it has not complied with Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 4350(e) and 4350(g) due to its inability to hold an annual meeting of stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 by December 31, 2008, to solicit proxies or to provide a proxy statement to Nasdaq with respect to such meeting.  Consequently, this matter serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s common stock.

A copy of the press release announcing the Company’s receipt of these notification letters is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
