Section 7—Regulation FD
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
As previously announced, on April 16, 2009, Playboy Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Company was not in compliance with one of the NYSE’s continued listing standards because the Company’s total market capitalization had been less than $75 million over a consecutive 30 trading-day period and its last reported stockholders’ equity was less than $75 million.
On June 5, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing that it has been notified by the NYSE that the Company is now considered to be in good standing and has been removed from the NYSE "Watch List" as a result of a program initiated by the NYSE that temporarily lowers continued listing requirements to $50 million in market capitalization or $50 million in shareholders' equity. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
