The information set forth under Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01
Other Events.

As previously disclosed, International Money Express, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from the Staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the Company’s non-compliance with the minimum number of round lot holders for the listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market of its (i) common stock as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5505(a)(3) (the “Common Stock Listing Requirement”) and (ii) warrants as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5515(a)(4) (the “Warrant Listing Requirement”), such Company securities may be subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

On October 29, 2018, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq (the “Nasdaq Notice”) informing the Company that it has met the Common Stock Listing Requirement and that the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “IMXI.”

Additionally, the Nasdaq Notice informed the Company that it had not demonstrated compliance with the Warrant Listing Requirement.  The Company has withdrawn its request for a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel with respect to the Warrant Listing Requirement.  Accordingly, the Nasdaq Notice informed the Company that the Panel had determined to delist the Company’s warrants and suspend the trading of the Company’s warrants from The Nasdaq Capital Market effective as of the open of business on October 31, 2018.
