Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On March 14, 2013, Platinum Underwriters Holdings, Ltd. (the "Company") received a letter (the "Letter") from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") advising that the Company did not comply with Sections 204.21 and 401.02 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the "Listed Company Manual"), which required that the Company notify the NYSE of the record date for its 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders at least ten days prior to such record date. The Letter was issued to the Company pursuant to Section 303A.13 of the Listed Company Manual. The Letter sets forth that in determining to issue the Letter and not initiate the delisting of the Company’s securities, the NYSE took into consideration, among other factors, that this is the first time that the Company has failed to satisfy the notice requirements of Sections 204.21 and 401.02 of the Listed Company Manual.
The Company confirms March 8, 2013 as the record date for its 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on April 24, 2013.
