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

On May 18, 2020, Positive Physicians Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(4), due to the Company’s failure to meet the minimum 500,000 publicly held shares requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Notice states that the Company has until July 2, 2020 to submit a plan to regain compliance with Listing Rule ‎‎5550(a)(4). The Company intends to respond within the required timeframe and is evaluating its options regarding a ‎plan that it may submit in response to the Notice. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, Nasdaq may grant the ‎Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice to evidence compliance with Listing ‎Rule 5550(a)(4). If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal ‎the decision in front of a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.‎
