Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued
Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On February 19, 2015, American Spectrum Realty, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) received a letter indicating that the staff of NYSE Regulation, Inc. (“NYSE Regulation”) has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock from the NYSE MKT LLC (the “NYSE MKT”). Trading in the Company’s common stock has been halted on a continuous basis since NYSE Regulation initiated a trading halt on April 15, 2014. Trading in the Company’s common stock was immediately suspended intra-day on February 19, 2015. As determined by NYSE Regulation, the suspension is the result of:
● |
the Company’s inability to complete its outstanding SEC filings, per Sections 134 and 1101 of the NYSE MKT Company Guide (the “Company Guide”); |
● |
the financial condition of the Company, which is so impaired that it appears questionable, in the opinion of the NYSE MKT, as to whether the Company will be able to continue operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature, per Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Company Guide; and |
● |
the Company’s failure to timely disclose corporate events per Section 1003(d) of the Company Guide. |
As previously disclosed on November 14, 2014 and January 8, 2015, the Company had submitted plans to the NYSE MKT outlining steps to regain compliance with the requirements of the Company Guide and the NYSE MKT had granted the Company a period through February 19, 2016 for the Company to regain compliance as outlined in its plans of compliance, so long as the Company made progress consistent with such plans. However, due to the financial condition of the Company, the Company was unable to make progress consistent with such plans, and accordingly, the Board has determined it to be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to not appeal NYSE Regulation’s delisting determination.
Currently, the Company’s shares of common stock are quoted on the Pink Sheets, LLC under the symbol “AQQS”.
On February 25, 2015, the Company issued a press release regarding Item 3.01, described above. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
