Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 4, 2011, in connection with the approval by its stockholders of the Amendment (as defined and discussed in Item 5.03 below) at a special meeting of its stockholders, IDT Corporation (the “Registrant”) provided notice to the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) of the Registrant’s intention to delist its Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (NYSE: IDT.C) (the “Common Stock”), and has requested that the NYSE file an application on Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to delist and deregister the Common Stock. Trading of the Common Stock on the NYSE was suspended as of the opening of trading on April 5, 2011. In addition, the Registrant intends to file a Certification and Notice on Form 15 with respect to the Common Stock, requesting that the Common Stock be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and that the Registrant’s reporting obligations under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.
A copy of the April 4, 2011 press release relating to the above and the items below is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On April 4, 2011, as a result of the Amendment (as defined and discussed in Item 5.03 below), holders of Common Stock ceased to have any rights as stockholders in the Registrant with respect to any such rights associated with the Common Stock as each outstanding share of Common Stock automatically converted and reclassified into one share of the Registrant’s Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (NYSE: IDT) (the “Class B Common Stock”). Holders of Common Stock were entitled to one vote per share, while the holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to one-tenth of a vote per share.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On April 4, 2011, pursuant to the vote of the Registrant’s stockholders at the Registrant’s special meeting of stockholders and following the filing of the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, both on such date, the Registrant’s Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation was amended and restated to (a) effect a conversion and reclassification of each outstanding share of the Common Stock into one share of Class B Common Stock; (b) eliminate the Common Stock and provisions relating thereto; (c) provide for the conversion of the Registrant’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), into Class B Common Stock instead of Common Stock; and (d) revise the provision relating to dividends and distributions of cash and property, including stock of another company (the “Amendment”).
The foregoing description of changes to the Registrant’s Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Registrant’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
