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

Item 8.01.  Other Events.

On April 1, 2014, TravelCenters of America LLC (the “Company”) issued a press release, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1, announcing that it has not timely filed its 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”).  The reasons for this current delay are the same as those described by the Company in its Form 12b-25 filed with the SEC on March 17, 2014, except that more time is required to complete the Form 10-K.  On April 2, 2014, the Company received a notice, as expected, from the NYSE indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements under the timely filing criteria outlined in Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual as a result of its failure to timely file the Form 10-K.  The Company can regain compliance with the relevant NYSE listing standards by filing the Form 10-K with the SEC on or before October 1, 2014, and the letter from the NYSE also notes that the NYSE could commence delisting proceedings at any time if the circumstances warrant.  The Company’s common shares listed on the NYSE under the symbol “TA” and its 8.25% senior notes due 2028 (“8.25% Notes”) listed on the NYSE under the symbol “TANN”, will be assigned an “LF” indicator by the NYSE to signify the Company’s late filing status if the Form 10-K is not filed by 2:30 pm on April 7, 2014.  The Company expects that it will regain compliance with the NYSE listing standards upon filing the Form 10-K, and it is working towards filing the Form 10-K as soon as possible.

On March 31, 2014, the Company received a waiver, until April 30, 2014, from its lenders under its $200 million credit facility from the requirement that the Company furnish its financial statements to the lenders as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013.

·                  THIS FORM 8-K STATES THAT THE COMPANY CAN REGAIN COMPLIANCE WITH THE RELEVENT NYSE LISTING STANDARDS BY FILING THE FORM 10-K WITH THE SEC ON OR BEFORE OCTOBER 1, 2014, AND THAT LENDERS HAVE WAIVED, UNTIL APRIL 30, 2014, THE COMPANY’S REQUIREMENT UNDER ITS CREDIT FACILITY TO FURNISH FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013.  THIS MAY IMPLY THAT THE COMPANY WILL FILE THE FORM 10-K WITH THE SEC AND THAT THE COMPANY WILL REGAIN COMPLIANCE WITH THE NYSE LISTING STANDARDS ON OR BEFORE APRIL 30, 2014 OR OCTOBER 1, 2014, OR THAT EXTENDED OR ADDITIONAL WAIVERS WILL BE OBTAINED IF NECESSARY.  HOWEVER, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE COMPANY WILL BE ABLE TO FILE THE FORM 10-K OR OTHERWISE COMPLETE AND DELIVER ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BY THOSE DATES OR THAT EXTENDED OR ADDITIONAL WAIVERS WILL BE OBTAINED.  THESE OUTCOMES COULD OCCUR FOR REASONS WHICH MAY BE UNKNOWN TO THE COMPANY AT THIS TIME AND MAY BE BEYOND THE COMPANY’S CONTROL.  ALSO, FAILURE TO COMPLETE AND DELIVER FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR FILE THE FORM 10-K WITHIN DIFFERENT SPECIFIED PERIODS COULD GIVE RISE TO DEFAULTS UNDER THE COMPANY’S INDENTURE GOVERNING ITS 8.25% NOTES OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS.
