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

On July 10, 2013, U.S. Auto Parts Network, Inc. (the “Company”) notified The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company’s Board of Directors was no longer comprised of a majority of independent directors as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1). As reported by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 22, 2013, Ellen F. Siminoff elected not to stand for re-election when her term as a Class I director expired at the Company’s 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 9, 2013 (the “Annual Meeting”). Of the Company’s remaining six directors, the Company’s Board of Directors has determined that three qualify as independent directors under applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules.

The Company intends to regain compliance with the requirement that its Board of Directors have a majority of independent directors prior to the expiration of the cure period provided pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1)(A). The Company is currently conducting a director search in the exercise of due care for a new candidate as soon as practicable.
