As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 5, 2013, The Phoenix Companies, Inc. (the “Company”), was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that, as a result of its failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”) with the SEC, it was subject to the procedures specified in Section 802.01E (SEC Annual Report Timely Filing Criteria) of the Listed Company Manual of the NYSE. Pursuant to Section 802.01E, the Company recently made a request to the NYSE that its shares be permitted to continue to trade on the NYSE while the Company completes its restatement of financial statements for prior periods and prepares the 2012 Form 10-K. On September 27, 2013 via letter dated September 26, 2013, the NYSE notified the Company that its shares may continue to trade on the NYSE until January 31, 2014, subject to reassessment on an ongoing basis.
In the event that the Company is unable to file the 2012 Form 10-K on or prior to January 31, 2014, the Company may request that the NYSE permit the Company’s securities to continue to trade on the NYSE until April 3, 2014. In the event that the Company is unable to file the 2012 Form 10-K prior to April 3, 2014, the NYSE will move forward with the initiation of suspension and delisting procedures.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On September 27, 2013, the Company issued a news release reporting that, as described in Item 3.01 of this Report, the Company received an extension for continued listing and trading of its common stock on the NYSE, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The foregoing contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements relating to, or representing management’s beliefs about, our future transactions, strategies, operations, events and financial results, including, without limitation, our expectation to provide information within anticipated timeframes and potential penalties that may result from failure to timely file statutory financial statements with state insurance regulators, and the Company’s ability to satisfy its requirements under, and maintain the listing of its shares on, the NYSE. Such forward-looking statements often contain words such as “will,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “is targeting,” “may,” “should” and other similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s current expectations and beliefs and are not guarantees of future performance. Our ability to provide updated information about the restatement in the anticipated timeframe, complete the restatement and resume a timely filing schedule with respect to our SEC filings reflecting the restatement is subject to a number of contingencies, including but not limited to, whether we continue to identify errors in our consolidated financial statements, whether existing systems and processes can be timely updated, supplemented or replaced, and the number and complexity of, and periods covered by, the reports that we will have to file with the SEC to reflect the restatement. Our actual business, financial condition or results of operations may differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties which include, among others, those risks and uncertainties described in any of our other filings with the SEC. Certain other factors which may impact our business, financial condition or results of operations or which may cause actual results to differ from such forward-looking statements are discussed or included in our reports filed with the SEC and are available on our website at www.phoenixwm.com under “Investor Relations”. You are urged to carefully consider all such factors. We do not undertake or plan to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in plans, assumptions, estimates or projections, or other circumstances occurring after the date of this Form 8-K, even if such results, changes or circumstances make it clear that any forward-looking information will not be realized. If we make any future public statements or disclosures which modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in or accompanying this Form 8-K, such statements or disclosures will be deemed to modify or supersede such statements in this Form 8-K.
