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

On August 26, 2015, ZaZa Energy Corporation (the “Company”) received a letter from The NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) stating that the Staff had determined that the Company’s securities would be delisted from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) on the basis that the market value of its listed securities had been below the minimum $35 million required for continued listing set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(b)(2).  The Company initially appealed the Staff’s determination to delist its securities.

On September 30, 2015, the Company elected to delist from NASDAQ.  Following the Company’s withdrawal of its appeal request, NASDAQ notified the Company that its shares would be suspended at the open of business on Monday, October 5, 2015.  The Company’s securities may be eligible to continue to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
