New York Stock Exchange Accepts Magnetek’s Continued Listing Plan
Menomonee Falls, Wis., September 21, 2010 - Magnetek, Inc. (“Magnetek” or the “Company”) today announced that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) notified the Company on September 20, 2010, that it has accepted the Company's proposed plan for continued listing on the NYSE. The Listings and Compliance Committee (the “Committee”) of the NYSE has chosen, at its discretion, to truncate the plan period for regaining compliance with the continued listing standards from 18 months to 12 months, given the Company’s recurrence of having fallen below the continued listing standards.
As a result of the NYSE's acceptance of Magnetek's plan, the Company's stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE, pending quarterly reviews by the Committee to assess progress against the plan. The Company has until June 2011 to regain compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards.
As previously disclosed in a press release issued and Form 8-K filed on June 24, 2010, Magnetek received a notice from the NYSE that it was considered "below criteria" because the Company's total average market capitalization over a consecutive 30-day trading period and its most recently reported stockholders’ equity each amounted to less than $50 million.
Magnetek, Inc. manufactures digital power and motion control systems used in material handling, people moving and energy delivery. The Company is headquartered in Menomonee Falls, Wis. in the greater Milwaukee area and operates manufacturing facilities in Pittsburgh, Pa., Canonsburg, Pa. and Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, as well as Menomonee Falls. The Company reported revenues of $81 million for its 2010 fiscal year, which ended June 27, 2010.
