Item 3.01

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

As previously disclosed on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Tri-S Security Corporation (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 26, 2008, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “NASDAQ”) notified the Company on August 20, 2008, that it was not in compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3) (the “Rule”). The Rule requires the Company have a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity. On September 4, 2008, the Company provided the NASDAQ with a plan (the “Compliance Plan”) to achieve and sustain compliance with all requirements of continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, including the time frame for completion of the Compliance Plan. Based on its review of the Compliance Plan, the NASDAQ granted the Company’s request for an extension until December 3, 2008, to regain compliance with the Rule.

On December 4, 2008, the Company received a determination letter from the NASDAQ indicating that the Company had failed to regain compliance with the Rule, and that the Company’s securities were, therefore, subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company appealed the NASDAQ’s determination and requested a hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) to review such determination. The appeal and request for hearing before the Panel stayed the delisting of the Company’s securities pending the Panel’s decision.

On June 3, 2009, the Company received written notification from the NASDAQ that the Panel has determined to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market, effective as of the open of business on Friday, June 5, 2009, as a result of the Company’s noncompliance with the Rule.

On June 5, 2009, the Company issued a press release disclosing the delisting of its securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
