Item 3.01 |
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
As previously reported, on January 8, 2013, InnSuites Hospitality Trust (the Trust) received a letter from the NYSE MKT LLC (f/k/a AMEX) (the NYSE MKT) informing the Trust that the Trust was not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide due to the Trust having stockholders equity of less than $4.0 million and net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years. The Trust was afforded the opportunity to submit a plan of compliance (the Plan) to the NYSE MKT and submitted the Plan on February 5, 2013. On March 21, 2013, the NYSE MKT notified the Trust that it accepted the Plan and granted the Trust an extension until April 30, 2014 to regain compliance with the continued listing standards.
On May 2, 2013, the Trust received another letter from the NYSE MKT informing the Trust that the Trust is not in compliance with an additional continued listing standard of the NYSE MKT, Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide, due to the Trust having stockholders equity of less than $6.0 million and net losses in five consecutive fiscal years as of January 31, 2013.
In the previously submitted Plan, the Trust set forth a plan for increasing stockholders equity in excess of $6.0 million before its April 30, 2014 deadline and, therefore, is not required to submit an additional plan to regain compliance with the continued listing standards. The Trust will be subject to periodic review by the NYSE MKTs staff during this extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the Plan or to regain compliance with all continued listing standards of the NYSE MKT by the end of the extension period could result in the Trust being delisted from the NYSE MKT.
A copy of the press release announcing the receipt of a non-compliance letter from the NYSE MKT is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Exhibit 99.1
IHT receives NYSE MKT Increase Equity Compliance Notice
PHOENIX, Ariz., May 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On May 2, 2013, InnSuites Hospitality Trust (the "Trust") received a letter from the NYSE MKT LLC (f/k/a AMEX) (the "NYSE MKT") informing the Trust that the staff of the NYSE MKT's Corporate Compliance Department has determined that the Trust is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide due to the Trust having stockholders' equity of less than $6.0 million and net losses in five consecutive fiscal years as of January 31, 2013.
The NYSE MKT's letter provides that an additional plan of compliance is not required. The previous accepted plan submitted by the Trust on Feb. 6, 2013 anticipated and planned an equity increase to $6 million. The Trust may be able to continue its listing during the Plan Period, during which time it will be subject to periodic review to determine whether it is making progress consistent with the Trust's plan.
The Trust continues to monitor its stockholders' equity and is reviewing potential actions that can and are being taken to increase its stockholders' equity to maintain compliance with the NYSE MKT's listing standards.
The matters discussed in this news release may include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements, including the Trust's continued listing on the NYSE MKT, are not guarantees of future performance due to numerous risks and uncertainties and are described in greater detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained.
