On March 10, 2015, Allied Nevada Gold Corp. (the “Company”) received a notice from the NYSE MKT LLC (the “Exchange”) that the Exchange had suspended the Company’s common stock from trading immediately and determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock pursuant to Section 1003(c)(iii) of the NYSE MKT LLC Company Guide. The Exchange’s determination was based on the previously disclosed chapter 11 bankruptcy filings of the Company and certain of its domestic direct and indirect subsidiaries, which contemplate that the Company’s existing common stock will be extinguished pursuant to a pre-arranged plan of reorganization.
The Company does not intend to take any further action to appeal the Exchange’s decision, and therefore it is expected that the common stock will be delisted after the completion of the Exchange’s application to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
| Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
On March 10, 2015, the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) suspended the Company’s common stock from trading immediately while the TSX reviews the Company’s continued eligibility for listing under the TSX’s Expedited Review Process. The suspension and possible delisting are based on the chapter 11 bankruptcy filings of the Company and certain of its domestic direct and indirect subsidiaries, the Company’s financial condition and/or operating results, and whether the Company has adequate working capital and appropriate capital structure. A hearing to decide whether to delist the Company’s securities from the TSX is currently scheduled for March 16, 2015.
The Company does not intend to take any further action to appeal the TSX’s decision, and therefore it is expected that the common stock will be delisted after the completion of the TSX’s proceedings.
