Item 3.01

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

(a)

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 15, 2016 (the “Prior Report”), Schmitt Industries, Inc. (the “Registrant”) notified Nasdaq, and Nasdaq confirmed in a letter dated January 12, 2016, that as a result of Mr. David M. Hudson’s appointment as interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant and his resignation from the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, the Registrant was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605, Board of Directors and Committees (“Listing Rule 5605”).

As previously reported in the Prior Report, James A. Fitzhenry, a director of the Registrant, tendered his resignation from the Board of Directors of the Registrant, effective January 11, 2016.

This Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed solely to report that on January 29, 2016, Nasdaq issued a letter to the Registrant which supercedes its January 12, 2016 letter. The January 29, 2016 letter confirms the Registrant’s noncompliance with Listing Rule 5605, but notes that as a result of the resignation of James A. Fitzhenry from the Board of Directors, the period of time within which the Registrant has to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5605 has been modified. The modified timeframes are as follows:

•

until the earlier of the Registrant’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or January 11, 2017; or

•

if the next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before July 11, 2016, then the Registrant must evidence compliance no later than July 11, 2016.

The Registrant no longer has to submit a plan of compliance to Nasdaq within the 45-day period noted in the Prior Report.

(b)

The information set forth under Item 3.01(a) of this report is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.01(b).

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
