News Releases

NYSE Regulation has determined that the Company is no longer suitable for listing under Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual in view of the fact that it has fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard regarding average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading day period of less than $15 million, which is a minimum threshold for listing.

 

The Company had previously fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard for average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading day period of less than $50 million and latest reported shareholders’ equity of less than $50 million.  The Company’s business plan was previously accepted by NYSE Regulation, however, in light of the subsequent non-compliance with the aforementioned minimum market capitalization standard, this plan process is no longer available.

 

NYSE Regulation notes that it may make an appraisal of, and determine on an individual basis, the suitability for continued listing of an issue in light of all pertinent facts and circumstances whenever it deems such action appropriate.  In addition, NYSE Regulation may, at any time, suspend a security if it believes that continued dealings in or listing of the security on the NYSE are not advisable. 

 

The Company has a right to a review of this determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation.  Application to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the issue is pending the completion of applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the NYSE Regulation staff’s decision.
