FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Thomas Group Announces Intent to Voluntarily Deregister its Common Stock

 

Irving, Texas — June 13, 2011 — Thomas Group, Inc. (OTC: TGIS) (the “Company”), a global change management and operations improvement consulting firm, today announced that it has filed post-effective amendments to each of its outstanding Registration Statements on Form S-8 to deregister all shares of the Company’s common stock remaining unissued under the compensation plans to which those Registration Statements relate. It also announced that it intends to voluntarily deregister its common stock by filing a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Company is eligible to deregister because it has fewer than 300 holders of record of its common stock.

 

Prior to filing the Form 15, the Company will seek no action relief from the SEC requesting that the Company’s obligation to file certain reports with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K, be suspended immediately upon the Form 15 filing.  In the event no action relief is not granted, the Company’s obligation to continue filing such reports after the Form 15 filing will continue until the Company files its 2011 Form 10-K.

 

Deregistration of the Company’s common stock was approved at a special meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors on June 9, 2011.  After consultation with management and deliberation regarding the advantages and disadvantages of continuing the Company’s SEC registration, the Board of Directors determined that deregistration was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.  The decision to deregister is based primarily on the Company’s desire to conserve resources, and the Board’s determination that any beneficial effect to the Company of being registered with the SEC is substantially outweighed by the financial costs associated with preparing and filing periodic reports and other filings with the SEC and the administrative burdens associated with regulatory compliance.

 

The Company expects that its common stock will continue to be quoted on the OTC Pink tier operated by OTC Markets Group, a centralized electronic quotation service for over-the-counter securities, following its deregistration, so long as market makers demonstrate an interest in trading in the Company’s common stock. However, there is no assurance that trading in the Company’s common stock will continue on the OTC Pink tier or on any other securities exchange or quotation medium.

 

Upon deregistration, the Company plans to continue to provide its stockholders with periodic financial and operational information through the OTC Markets Group website: www.otcmarkets.com.
