Century 21 China Real Estate Receives Notice from NYSE Regarding Listing Standards

 

BEIJING, China, April 11, 2014 - IFM Investments Limited (NYSE: CTC) (“Century 21 China Real Estate” or the “Company”), a leading comprehensive real estate services provider and the exclusive franchisor for the CENTURY 21® brand in China, today announced that it received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”) that it is not in compliance with one of the continued listing standards of the NYSE. The Company is considered below the NYSE’s continued listing criteria because its total market capitalization has been less than $50 million over a 30-trading-day period and its stockholders’ equity is less than $50 million.

 

The Company has notified the NYSE that it plans to submit a business plan (the “Plan”) within 90 days from the receipt of the NYSE notice that demonstrates its ability to regain compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards within 18 months. In the event that the NYSE accepts the Plan, the Company will be subject to quarterly monitoring for compliance with the Plan and the Company’s ADSs will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during such 18-month cure period subject to its compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards. In the event that the NYSE does not accept the Plan, the Company will be subject to suspension and delisting procedures. The Company will continue to communicate with the NYSE to keep it apprised of the Company’s plans to achieve compliance and progress in that regard.

 

The Company’s business operations and SEC reporting requirements are not affected by the receipt of the aforementioned notice from the NYSE.
