ITEM 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On November 16, 2009 LL&E Royalty Trust (the “Trust”) was notified by NYSE Regulation, Inc. (“NYSE Regulation”) that NYSE Regulation had determined that trading in the Trust’s units on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) should be suspended prior to the opening on Friday, November 20, 2009. The Trust expects to be trading on the Pink Sheets under a symbol yet to be determined that same day; however, no assurance can be given that this will occur. The NYSE further informed the Trust that the NYSE’s application to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the issue is pending the completion of applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Trust of the NYSE Regulation staff decision. The Trust does not intend to appeal the staff’s decision.
The notification stated that the decision to delist the Trust was reached in view of the fact that the Trust’s units had fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard for average closing price of less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading day period and the Trust had failed to cure this non-compliance within the required timeframe.
The Trust had previously announced that the Trust had until November 16, 2009 to cure its average closing price noncompliance and that, if the Trust failed to do so, the NYSE intended to initiate suspension and delisting procedures.
As previously announced, the Trust intends to sell its assets and liquidate when practicable in light of market conditions, and in any case within the time period specified in the Trust’s governing documents.
A press release issued by the Trust on November 17, 2009 regarding the foregoing matters is filed herewith.
