Item 3.01  Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On May 14, 2010, MACC Private Equities, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) informing it that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) had granted the Company's request for its common shares to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.  The Panel's determination was subject to the following conditions: (i) that on or about July 15, 2010, the Company shall inform the Panel that it has filed a definitive proxy for its annual shareholder meeting that includes a proposal for a reverse stock split, and (ii) that on or before September 13, 2010, the Company must have evidenced a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for a minimum of ten prior consecutive trading days.  Further, in order to comply with the terms of the granted exception the Company must be able to demonstrate compliance with all requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq.

The Panel noted that September 13, 2010 represents the full extent of the Panel's authority to grant an exception and allow continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market while the Company remains deficient.  Should the Company be unable to meet the exception requirement, the Panel will issue a final determination to delist the Company's shares effective on the second business day from the date of the final determination.  There can be no assurances given that the Company will meet the above-stated conditions set forth by the Panel or that the Company will avoid having its shares delisted by Nasdaq.

On May 17, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had received the aforementioned notice from Nasdaq.  The full text of the press release is included in this document as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01  Other Events.
