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

On May 12, 2015, The ExOne Company (the “Company”) received a notice from The Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires the timely filing of all periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The Company received the notice because it has not yet filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 (the “10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). ExOne filed a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing with the SEC on May 11, 2015 reporting a delay in filing its 10-Q. The delay is due to unforeseen difficulties with respect to the implementation of the first phase of its new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) software system in ExOne GmbH, its largest operating subsidiary. Under the extension permitted under the SEC rules, the 10-Q would be timely filed if it is filed on or before May 18, 2015. The Company expects to file its 10-Q with the SEC in early June 2015.

ExOne believes that the Nasdaq notice and the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) will have no immediate effect on the listing or trading of ExOne’s common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market. Under the Nasdaq listing rules, the Company has 60 days to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). ExOne expects to be fully compliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) in early June, well before the July 13, 2015 deadline to submit the plan to Nasdaq.

As required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), the Company issued a press release announcing the receipt of the notice from Nasdaq. A copy of that press release is attached as exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
