Section 3 – Securities and Trading Markets
Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On July 17, 2013, it received a letter from the staff of the NYSE MKT (“Exchange”) that, based on the Tel’s financial statements at March 31, 2013, Tel was no longer in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $4.0 million, and had also reported net losses in three of its last four fiscal years.
The Company was previously issued a letter indicating that the Company was below certain of the Exchange’s continued listing standards. Specifically, the Company was not in compliance with Section 1000(a) (i) in that it has sustained losses which are so substantial in relation to its overall operations or its existing financial resources, or its financial condition has become so impaired that it appears questionable, in the opinion of the Exchange, as to whether such issuer will be able to continue operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature.
The Company submitted a plan to the Exchange, and based on the information provided by the Company on June 17, 2013, the Exchange has determined that the Company has made a reasonable demonstration of its ability to regain compliance. As such, the Company listing is being continued pursuant to an extension and will continue to be monitored against this plan with the next NYSE evaluation date being August 15, 2013. Failure to make progress against this plan could result in the Exchange staff initiating delisting provisions. The Company is optimistic that it will demonstrate sufficient progress to maintain our NYSE-MKT listing. This plan will be contingent upon a full production release from the U.S. Army on the TS-4530A program.
The Company has been given a separate plan period, until November 7, 2014, to regain compliance under Section 1003(a) (ii) of the NYSE Company Guide regarding the deficiency in stockholders’ equity. The plan submitted on June 17, 2013, and accepted by the Exchange, if met, will allow the Company to meet this requirement.
Section 7 – Regulation FD
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. also announced that it has begun shipments this week on the $3.3 million TS-4530A interim production release. This program represents a key component of our plan to regain compliance with the Exchange’s listing standards.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
