JRJR Networks Announces Extension

Granted by the NYSE

 

(Dallas, TX, December 22, 2017) - JRjr33, Inc., doing business as JRJR Networks [NYSE MKT: JRJR] today announced that on December 21, 2017, it received a letter from the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) notifying the Company that it has reviewed the Company’s December 18, 2017 extension request for filing outstanding Forms 10-Q and has determined to accept the request and grant a plan period extension through February 15, 2018.

 

The Company is looking forward to filing the outstanding Forms 10-Q prior to February 15, 2018 and intends to submit its filings as soon as its independent auditor, Whitley Penn LLP, has completed reviewing the Company’s financials. The Company will schedule a shareholder call the day its outstanding Forms 10-Q are filed.

 

The letter from the NYSE American stated that the Company was not in compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the NYSE American Company Guide as a result of its failure to timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) its Forms 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017. The letter further states that if the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by February 15, 2018 or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the plan during the plan period, the NYSE American staff will initiate delisting proceeding, as appropriate. The Company intends to file the outstanding Forms 10-Q prior to February 15, 2018.

 

The Company’s common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE American while it attempts to regain compliance with the listing standards, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing requirements. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “JRJR,” but will have an added designation of “BC” to indicate that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE American’s listing standards.
