Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On August 11, 2017, Walter Investment Management Corp. (the Company) received written notification (the Notice) from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) that the Company was considered to be non-compliant with the continued listing standards set forth under Rule 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the average market capitalization of the Companys common stock was less than $50 million over a consecutive 30 trading-day period, while its last reported stockholders equity was less than $50 million.
As a result of the Notice, the Company became subject to the procedures set forth in Rule 802.02 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. In accordance with such procedures, on or before August 25, 2017, the Company plans to acknowledge receipt of the Notice and notify the NYSE of its intention to submit a business plan (the Plan) on or before September 25, 2017, which will set forth the Companys plan to regain compliance with the relevant listing standards. The NYSE will have 45 days after receipt of the Plan to review such Plan and determine whether the Company has made a reasonable demonstration of its ability to regain compliance within the 18-month period ending February 11, 2019. If the Plan is accepted by the NYSE, the Companys shares will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE, subject to the NYSEs quarterly monitoring of the Companys compliance with the Plan and other NYSE continued listing standards. If the Plan is not accepted by the NYSE, or if the Company fails to maintain compliance with the Plan, the Companys shares may be subject to suspension and delisting.
The Company intends to take steps to remedy the listing deficiencies in a timely manner; however, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the applicable listing standards or otherwise maintain compliance with the other continued listing standards set forth in the NYSE Listed Company Manual.
If trading in the Companys common stock was to be suspended on the NYSE or the stock were to be delisted from the NYSE for any reason, it could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and stock price. For example, delisting could: negatively impact the trading price, trading volume and liquidity of, and have other material adverse effects on, the Companys common stock; have negative implications on the Companys ability to implement its previously announced debt restructuring initiative; have negative implications on the Companys business relationships with lenders and other counterparties; impair the Companys ability to execute on its operational and strategic goals, raise additional capital and attract and retain employees by means of equity compensation; or lead to an event of default under the terms of, and/or acceleration of, a material amount of the Companys indebtedness. See Risk Factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2016 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017 (and in any amendments thereto), and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Receipt of the Notice by the Company is not a violation of the terms of, and does not constitute a default or event of default under, any of the Companys material debt or other obligations.
Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On August 16, 2017, the Company issued a press release, in accordance with and as required by the rules of the NYSE, announcing receipt of the Notice described in Item 3.01 above. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished and shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
