NYSE MKT Notice

 

On January 8, 2013, the Trust received a letter from the NYSE MKT LLC informing the Trust that the staff of the NYSE MKT’s Corporate Compliance Department has determined that the Trust is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii)of the NYSE MKT Company Guide due to the Trust having stockholder’s equity of less than $4.0 million and reported net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years.

The NYSE MKT’s letter provides that if the plan submitted by the Trust is accepted by the NYSE MKT, the Trust may be able to continue its listing during the plan period, during which time it will be subject to periodic review to determine whether it is making progress consistent with the Trust’s plan.

 

The Trust has been monitoring its stockholders’ equity and reviewing potential actions that can be taken to increase its stockholders’ equity and reviewing potential actions that can be taken to increase its stockholders’ equity to maintain compliance with the NYSE MKT’s listing standards.
