Item 3.01.

 

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listings.

 

On July 3, 2012, FX Alliance, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Letter”) from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) advising that the Company did not comply with Sections 204.21 and 401.02 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the “Listed Company Manual”), which required that the Company notify the NYSE of the record date for its 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders at least ten days prior to such record date. The Letter was issued to the Company pursuant to Section 303A.13 of the Listed Company Manual.

 

According to the Letter, the Exchange understands that the Company set a record date of June 15, 2012 for its 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The NYSE concluded that the requisite prior notice to the NYSE was not provided. The Letter sets forth that in determining to issue the Letter and not initiate the delisting of the Company’s securities, the NYSE took into consideration, among other factors, that this is the first time that the Company has failed to satisfy the notice requirements of Sections 204.21 and 401.02 of the Listed Company Manual.

 

The Company confirms June 15, 2012 as the record date for its 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be held on July 31, 2012. The Company has been informed by the NYSE that upon filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company would again be deemed to be in compliance with NYSE listing standards.

 

On July 3, 2012, the Company issued a press release disclosing the foregoing. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
