JRJR Networks Filing Update

DALLAS, April 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 15, 2016, JRjr33 Inc., doing business as JRJR Networks [NYSE MKT: JRJR], received a letter from NYSE MKT LLC ("the Exchange") noting that it is not in compliance with the listing standards pertaining to the timing of SEC filings, as set forth in Sections 134 and 1101 of the NYSE MKT Company Guide ("the Company Guide"), because of a delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 2015 (the "Form 10-K").   

"The Company primarily attributes the delay in filing the Form 10-K to working through several items, such as new personnel, a newly implemented Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system at a major subsidiary and obtaining reports from multiple international markets.  We are working diligently with our independent auditors to provide all the necessary information, including finalization of all adjustments and supporting analysis, so they can complete the audit of financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.  The Company has no disagreements with our auditors and we expect and intend to complete the filing of the Form 10-K at the earliest possible date, which we fully expect to be well in advance of the period allowed by the NYSE," said Chris Brooks, JRJR Networks' Chief Financial Officer.

To maintain its listing, the Company must submit a plan of compliance by May 16, 2016, addressing how it intends to regain compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the Company Guide by October 17, 2016.  If the plan is accepted, the Company may be able to continue its listing but will be subject to periodic reviews by the Exchange.  If the plan is not accepted or if it is accepted but the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by October 17, 2016, or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the plan, the Exchange will initiate delisting procedures as appropriate.  The Company's management is addressing the deficiency and intends to submit a compliance plan before the deadline set by the Exchange.
