The Phoenix Companies, Inc. (NYSE:PNX) Obtains New York Stock Exchange Listing Extension
Hartford, Conn., Jan. 28, 2014 – The Phoenix Companies, Inc. (NYSE:PNX) today announced it received an extension for continued listing and trading of the company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
The extension, subject to ongoing reassessment by the NYSE, allows the company’s shares to trade through April 3, 2014. During the extension period, trading of the company’s shares on the NYSE remains unaffected.
Earlier this month, Phoenix reported that it expects to file its 2012 Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by March 31, 2014 and become a timely SEC filer with the filing of its second quarter 2014 Form 10-Q. The company’s delay in filing its 2012 Form 10-K is a result of a previously reported restatement of financial statements for prior periods currently under way.
The NYSE has indicated that it will move forward with the initiation of suspension and delisting procedures if the company does not file its 2012 Form 10-K with the SEC by April 3, 2014.

The foregoing contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We intend for these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements relating to, or representing management’s beliefs about, our future transactions, strategies, operations and financial results, including, without limitation, our expectation to provide information within anticipated timeframes and potential penalties that may result from failure to timely file statutory financial statements with state insurance regulators, and the Company’s ability to satisfy its requirements under, and maintain the listing of its shares on, the NYSE. Such forward-looking statements often contain words such as “will,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “is targeting,” “may,” “should” and other similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s current expectations and beliefs and are not guarantees of future performance. Our ability to provide updated information about the restatement in the anticipated timeframe, complete the restatement and resume a timely filing schedule with respect to our SEC filings reflecting the restatement is subject to a number of contingencies, including but not limited to, whether we continue to identify errors in our consolidated financial statements, whether existing systems and processes can be timely updated, supplemented or replaced, and the number and complexity of, and periods covered by, the periodic reports that we will have to file with the SEC to reflect the restatement. Our actual business, financial condition or results of operations may differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties which include, among others, those risks and uncertainties described in any of our other filings with the SEC. Certain other factors which may impact our business, financial condition or results of operations or which may cause actual results to differ from such forward-looking statements are discussed or included in our periodic reports filed with the SEC and are available on our website at www.phoenixwm.com under “Investor Relations.” You are urged to carefully consider all such factors. We do not undertake or plan to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in plans, assumptions, estimates or projections, or other circumstances occurring after the date of this news release, even if such results, changes or circumstances make it clear that any forward-looking information will not be realized. If we make any future public statements or disclosures which modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in or accompanying this news release, such statements or disclosures will be deemed to modify or supersede such statements in this news release.
