Trading suspended and delisting proceedings have commenced.
The New York Stock Exchange has announced that the staff of NYSE Regulation has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Common Stock of Accretive Health, Inc. (NYSE:AH). Trading in the Company’s Common Stock will be suspended prior to the opening of trading on the NYSE on Monday, March 17, 2014.
The decision was reached because the company is a late filer and has not filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its December 31, 2012 Form 10-K (the “2012 Form 10-K”) and certain of its fiscal 2013 Form 10-Q filings. On March 12, 2014, the Company announced that it anticipates it will not be able to complete the filing of its 2012 Form 10-K by March 19, 2014, the maximum allowable trading period under Section 802.01E of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual.
NYSE Regulation notes that it may make an appraisal of, and determine on an individual basis, the suitability for continued listing of a listed security in light of all pertinent facts and circumstances whenever it deems such action appropriate. In addition, NYSE Regulation may, at any time, suspend trading in a security and commence delisting proceedings if it believes that continued dealings in or listing of the security on the NYSE are not advisable.
The company has a right to a review of this determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation. The NYSE will apply to the SEC to delist the Common Stock upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the NYSE Regulation staff’s decision.
