| ITEM 3.01 Notice | of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On November 8, 2013, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has approved a plan to (i) voluntarily delist its common stock from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and (ii) deregister the Company’s common stock under the Exchange Act, and therefore, terminate its obligations to file periodic and current reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company has submitted written notice to NYSE of its decision to voluntarily delist its common stock and to terminate the registration of its common stock under the Exchange Act.
The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the SEC to affect the voluntary withdrawal of the listing of its common stock from NYSE on or about November 18, 2013. Delisting from NYSE is expected to become effective 10 days after the filing date of the Form 25. Following delisting and provided that the Company continues to meet the applicable legal requirements, it intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC on or about December 3, 2013 to deregister the Company’s common stock under the Exchange Act. The Company expects the termination of registration under the Exchange Act will become effective 90 days after the date of the filing of the Form 15 with the SEC. However, upon filing of the Form 15, the Company’s obligation to file certain reports and forms with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K, will immediately be suspended.
A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the Company’s intention to delist and deregister the Company’s common Stock has been furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
