SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Pulse Electronics Corporation (NYSE:PULS), a leading provider of electronic components, today announced that on September 27, 2012, it received notice from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that the Company is not in compliance with a NYSE standard for continued listing of its common stock on the exchange. Specifically, the Company is below NYSE minimum requirements for average total market capitalization over 30 consecutive trading days of greater than $50 million and reported shareholders’ equity of greater than $50 million.
Under NYSE rules, the Company has 45 days from the date of the notice to submit a plan to the NYSE demonstrating its ability to achieve compliance with the market capitalization listing standards within 18 months of receiving the notice. The Company intends to submit such a plan and has notified the NYSE that it intends to cure the deficiency within the prescribed timeframe. During this cure period, the Company's shares will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE, subject to the Company's compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards.
“We believe that recent developments have increased downward pressure on our shares and, as a result, Pulse’s market capitalization,” said Pulse Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ralph Faison. “We believe that the actions which we are pursuing to address these issues, including asset sales, restructuring the balance sheet, and refinancing alternatives, will be significant components of the plan we submit to the NYSE.”
The Company's business operations, credit agreement, convertible bonds, and Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements are unaffected by this notice.
Additionally, the Company announced that, based on its recent share price, there can be no assurance that it will continue to remain in compliance with the NYSE minimum share price standard for continued listing. If a deficiency to this standard were to occur, the Company would expect to receive notice from the NYSE, announce such notice publicly as required, and have six months from the date of the notice to cure the deficiency under NYSE rules.
