Delisting and Deregistration of Common Stock

On April 20, 2020, the Company, acting pursuant to authorization from its Board of Directors, issued a press release announcing its intention to voluntarily delist its Common Stock from the NYSE American Stock Exchange and to deregister its Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and suspend its SEC reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company also provided written notice to NYSE American, LLC (the “Exchange”) on April 20, 2020 of the Company’s decision to voluntarily withdraw the listing of the Common Stock from the Exchange.

 

On May 1, 2020, the Company filed with the SEC a Form 25 relating to the delisting of its Common Stock. The Company expects the delisting to be effective May 11, 2020, at which time the Common Stock will no longer be traded on the Exchange.

 

On May 11, 2020, the Company filed with the SEC a Form 15 to deregister its Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as the Common Stock is held by less than 300 stockholders of record.
