U.S. investors can find current financial disclosure and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for First Acceptance Corporation on www.otcmarkets.com.

This action follows the completion of the Company’s March 19, 2018 announcement that it would voluntarily delist its common stock from the New York Stock Exchange and deregister its common stock and become a non-reporting Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

“First Acceptance Corporation is pleased to be a part of the OTCQX,” said Ken Russell, its President and Chief Executive Officer. “We believe that the OTCQX is an effective trading market to provide liquidity for our shareholders and also offers a convenient platform to keep them informed about our company.”

"We are pleased to welcome First Acceptance Corporation to the OTCQX Best Market," said Jason Paltrowitz, Executive Vice President of Corporate Services at OTC Markets Group.  "OTCQX offers banks and insurance companies a transparent public market alternative to a U.S. stock exchange listing, creating efficiencies for management teams by reducing costs and duplicative compliance requirements. We look forward to supporting First Acceptance Corporation as the company builds long-term shareholder value."
