Item 3.01.
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
 
On December 1, 2009 Wilshire Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice dated November 30, 2009 from NYSE Amex LLC (“NYSE Amex” or the “Exchange”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Exchange’s Company Guide with stockholders’ equity of less than $4,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three out of its four most recent fiscal years and Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Exchange’s Company Guide with stockholders’ equity of less than $6,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.
 
In order to maintain its listing on the Exchange, the Company must submit a plan by December 30, 2009 addressing how it intends to regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) and Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide by May 30, 2011. The Company intends to consider all available alternatives to achieve compliance and intends to timely submit a plan to the Exchange that demonstrates the Company’s ability to achieve compliance. Subject to the Exchange’s acceptance of the Company’s plan and the Company’s compliance with the Exchange’s other continued listing standards, the Company’s common stock will remain listed on NYSE Amex during the plan period. There can be no assurance that any plan submitted by the Company will be accepted by NYSE Amex or, if such a plan is accepted, that the Company acting in accordance with the plan will be successful in regaining compliance with NYSE Amex’s continued listing standards.
 
On December 7, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing the receipt of the notice from NYSE Amex. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
