On January 23, 2017, Emergent Capital, Inc. (“Emergent” or the “Company”) provided notice to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that Emergent intends to voluntarily delist its common stock from the NYSE and intends to transfer its listing to the OTC Marketplace (“OTC”).

Delisting from the NYSE is expected to become effective 10 days after the filing date of the Form 25. After delisting from the NYSE, the Company expects its common stock will be trading on the OTC. A new trading symbol will be allocated on the first day of trading on the OTC. The Company will remain subject to public reporting requirements of the SEC following the transfer.
A copy of the press release issued by Emergent to announce this change is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
