| Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On March 19, 2020, Blue Capital Reinsurance Holdings Ltd. (“Blue Capital” or the “Company”) announced that that it had voluntarily filed a Form 25 (Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to voluntarily withdraw its common shares from listing on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). As a result of the Form 25, the Company expects that the last trading day for its common shares on the NYSE will be on March 30, 2020 (ten days from the date of the Form 25 filing). The Company will also withdraw its listing with the Bermuda Stock Exchange prior to July 31, 2020.
After the effectiveness of the Form 25 filing, Blue Capital expects to file a Form 15 with the SEC, requesting the suspension of Blue Capital’s reporting obligations under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Following delisting and deregistration, the Company believes that its common shares will continue to be quoted on the OTC Pink Open Market (“OTC Pink”), a centralized electronic quotation service operated by the OTC Markets for over-the-counter securities. However, the Company can give no assurance that trading in its common shares will continue in the future on the OTC Pink, on any securities exchange, or in any other quotation medium.
The Company’s press release dated March 19, 2020 furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
