Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on October 15, 2019, Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Department”) stating that, due to the Company’s continued non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), which requires the market value of the Company's listed securities to be at least $35 million, the Department had determined to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) unless the Company timely requested a hearing before a Hearings Panel (“Panel”). The Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel, which took place on November 21, 2019. On November 29, 2019, the Company received a written decision from Nasdaq stating that the Panel had determined to grant the Company’s request for the continued listing of its securities on Nasdaq.

This decision is conditioned upon the Company completing, by February 28, 2020, the proposed merger (the "Merger") contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 6, 2019, among Patton Wings Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and Golden Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and the Company. The details of the Merger were previously disclosed in the Company's Form 8-K filed on November 6, 2019 and Proxy Statement filed on November 25, 2019.

As previously disclosed, on June 6, 2019, the Company received a notice from the Department stating that, for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price of the Company’s listed securities had been below the minimum of $1.00 per share required for continued inclusion on Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”). The notification letter stated that the Company would be afforded 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Rule. On November 20, 2019, the Company received a written notice from Nasdaq stating that the Company regained compliance with the Rule, as the Company's common stock, for 10 consecutive business days, from November 6 through November 19, 2019, maintained a closing bid price of $1.00 or greater.
