Item 3.01 |
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
|
Celadon Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), previously disclosed in a press release issued April 2, 2018, that the Company expected the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) to initiate procedures to delist the Company’s common stock. The Company confirms that it received a delisting notice on April 3, 2018 from the NYSE indicating that the NYSE suspended trading prior to market open on April 3, 2018, and would be commencing procedures to delist the Company’s common stock. The delisting is due to the Company’s inability to become current with its Securities and Exchange Commission reporting obligations by May 2, 2018, the maximum time allowed under Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.
Under NYSE delisting procedures, the Company has the right to appeal this determination. The Company has considered the cost and likelihood of success of an appeal of the delisting decision, and has determined it does not intend to file an appeal.
