Corrpro Announces Termination of SEC Reporting and Delisting From
AMEX
MEDINA, Ohio, June 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Corrpro Companies, Inc.
(AMEX:CO/PinkAMEX:Sheets), announced today that it filed an application to
voluntarily delist its common shares from the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX")
with the AMEX and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and filed
a Form 15 with the SEC to deregister its Common Shares under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). As indicated in a press
release issued by the Company on March 21, 2005, the Company's Board of
Directors began consideration of the decision to deregister and delist the
Common Shares as a result of, among other things, the uncertainty over the
Company's continued listing on the AMEX and the ongoing costs of being a
reporting company.
Immediately upon the filing of Form 15, the Company will no longer be obligated
to file certain reports with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. The
Company, however, intends to voluntarily file a Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2005.
Based on the filing of the application for delisting and the Form 15, the AMEX
has indicated that it will suspend trading of our common shares on the AMEX
effective immediately. The Company anticipates that the Common Shares will
continue to be quoted on the Pink Sheets; however, the Company can give no
assurances that the Common Shares will continue to be so quoted. The Pink
Sheets system is a centralized quotation service that provides pricing and
financial news and information for the over-the-counter securities markets and
collects and publishes market maker quotes in real time primarily through its
website, http://www.pinksheets.com/.
Joseph P. Lahey, the Company's President and CEO, commented that "the Company's
Board of Directors unanimously approved the delisting and deregistration of the
Common Shares. The costs and administrative burdens associated with being a
reporting company have significantly increased, particularly in light of new
SEC and Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. In light of the lack of an active trading
market for the Company's stock and the Company's intent not to access the
public capital markets for its foreseeable financing needs, the advantages of
being a reporting company are outweighed by the significant external and
internal costs associated with the reporting requirements for public companies.
We believe that delisting and deregistering will significantly reduce
expenses, avoid potentially higher future expenses, enable our management to
focus more of its time on operating the Company, and create greater value for
our shareholders." The deregistration and delisting of the Common Shares was
unanimously recommended to the Board by a special committee of independent
directors. The special committee engaged and consulted an independent
financial advisor and its own legal counsel prior to making its recommendation.
Notwithstanding the Company's decision to delist and deregister the Common
Shares, the Company currently intends to continue to hold annual meetings and
to provide its shareholders and the interested public with audited financial
statements on an annual basis. The Company also intends to comply with all
information and notice requirements under Ohio and other applicable law and the
Company's articles of incorporation and code of regulations.
The Company does not believe that delisting from the AMEX and deregistering
under the Exchange Act will materially impact its current operations, current
relationships with employees, customers or suppliers or its existing financing
arrangements.
