Lakeshore Acquisition II (NASDAQ:LBBB)
Historical Stock Chart
From Jan 2020 to Jan 2025
Liberty Bell Bank (Nasdaq:LBBB) (the “Bank”) announced today that it has
notified the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) of its intent to
voluntarily delist its common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The
Bank currently anticipates that it will file with the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation and Nasdaq a Form 25 relating to the delisting of
its common stock on or about December 19, 2008, with the delisting of
its common stock becoming effective ten days thereafter. Accordingly,
the Bank anticipates that the last day of trading of its common stock on
the Nasdaq Capital Markets will be on or about December 31, 2008. The
Bank has discussed with the market makers for its common stock having
its common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board effective January 2,
2009, but no arrangements have yet been made in that regard. The Bank’s
common stock was quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board from its formation in
2003 until the completion of its secondary common stock offering and
listing on Nasdaq in April 2005.
The decision to voluntarily delist its common stock is a cost savings
step that will eliminate expenses associated with Nasdaq listing fees.
Given the light trading volume of its common stock, the Bank believes
that investors will be more than adequately served by other alternatives
such as the OTC Bulletin Board or the Pink Sheets. The Bank also expects
that, going forward, the delisting of its common stock will provide it
with greater corporate flexibility and will allow it to deploy more
resources to its core business operations. The Bank is in compliance
with all applicable Nasdaq continued listing standards has not received
any notice from Nasdaq to the contrary.
