As previously disclosed, on September 14, 2011, American Defense Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from NYSE Amex that the staff of NYSE Amex had determined that the Company has not made progress consistent with its previously announced Plan of Compliance (the “Plan”) and, accordingly NYSE Amex deemed it appropriate to initiate delisting proceedings with regard to the Company’s common stock (the “Determination”). In accordance with Section 1203 and 1202(b) of the NYSE Amex Company Guide, the Company had a limited right to appeal the Determination. The Company appealed the determination on November 11, 2011 before a NYSE Amex Pane (the “Panel”). On November 22, 2011, the Company received notice from NYSE Amex that the Panel had affirmed the Staff’s determination to delist the common stock of the Company. The Company has determined that it will not further appeal the Determination.
On November 22, 2011, the Company was notified by NYSE Amex that trading in its common stock would be suspended on NYSE Amex, with formal delisting to follow. Following the notification of suspension of trading in the Company’s common stock on NYSE Amex, the Company is transitioning trading in its common stock to the OTCQB Marketplace. The Company expects that its common stock will trade under the "ADFS" symbol on the computerized OTCQB system beginning December 1, 2011 . Operated by OTC Markets Group Inc., the OTCQB is a market tier for OTC traded companies that are registered and reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
