Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As a result of the meeting of stockholders described in Item 5.07 below, on September 5, 2014, Chart Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) entered into the Trust Agreement (as defined below) with Continental (as defined below), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

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

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) on March 7, 2014, the Company received a written notice on March 4, 2014, from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market (the “Staff”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(3) (the “Minimum Public Holders Rule”), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of 300 public holders for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). Subsequently, the Staff accepted the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule and provided the Company until September 2, 2014 to evidence such compliance. On September 5, 2014, the Company received a letter from the Staff stating that the Company had failed to evidence compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule by September 2, 2014, and that, accordingly, the Staff has determined to initiate procedures to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq, unless the Company appeals such determination on or before September 12, 2014. The Company intends to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination in front of a hearings panel and the Company’s securities will continue to trade on Nasdaq while such appeal is pending. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its appeal of the delisting determination.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

As a result of the meeting of stockholders described in Item 5.07 below, on September 5, 2014, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

On September 5, 2014, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”).
