ITEM 3.01
NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING
On April 1, 2013, the Company received a letter from The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) notifying the Company that in accordance with Listed Company Manual Section 802.01D, the staff of the NYSE has determined that the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “common stock”) and the Company’s 9.25% Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “preferred stock”) will be delisted from NYSE.

The NYSE staff reached its decision based upon the Company’s voluntary bankruptcy filing and the uncertainty as to the timing and outcome of the bankruptcy process, as well as the ultimate effect of this process on the Company’s common stockholders.

Given the continued listing requirements, the early status of the bankruptcy case and the demands the bankruptcy case has posed on the Company’s resources, the Company does not plan to appeal the NYSE’s determination to delist the Company’s common stock and preferred stock. Accordingly, trading of the Company’s common stock and preferred stock was suspended on April 1, 2013.
