As a result of the acceptance, the Company's common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE pending quarterly reviews by the NYSE's Listing and Compliance Committee to ensure progress against the plan.  The Company previously announced that the NYSE notified it that the Company was considered "below criteria" because its total average market capitalization over a consecutive 30-day trading period and its shareholders' equity were each less than $50 million, and its average closing price over thirty consecutive trading days was less than $1.00 per common share.
