Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On January 2, 2008, Scottish Re Group Limited (the “Company”) received notification from the New York Stock Regulation, Inc. (“NYSE Regulation”) indicating that the Company is below the New York Stock Exchange’s (“NYSE”) continuing compliance standards because, as is as required by paragraph 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the average closing stock price of the Company’s ordinary shares was less than $1.00 over a consecutive thirty trading-day period.
The Company has notified the NYSE that it intends to submit plans to address the price deficiency within the required ten business day period following receipt of the notification.
Subject to ongoing reassessment by NYSE Regulation, the notification has no effect on the listing of the Company’s ordinary shares and 7.25% non-cumulative perpetual preferred shares, and the ordinary and preferred shares will continue to trade on the NYSE under the symbols “SCT” and “SCT-PB,” respectively. Under NYSE rules, at the end of the six month period following receipt of the original notification, the Company must have brought its ordinary shares price and average share price for a consecutive thirty trading-day period back above $1.00, or be subject to suspension and delisting procedures. In the interim, the NYSE will add the indicator “.BC” to the ticker symbol for the Company’s ordinary and preferred shares to signify that the Company remains “below criteria” required by the NYSE for continued listings.
