Resolution of continued listing deficiencies with the American Stock Exchange
On October 25, 2007, the Amex notified MPC Corporation (the “Company”) that it has resolved the continued listing deficiencies based on a review by the Amex of publicly available information, including the Company’s press release dated October 1, 2007, its Securities and Exchange Commission filings, and other correspondence provided to the Amex by the Company.
Previously, the American Stock Exchange (“Amex”) issued a notice dated April 13, 2006 that Company failed to satisfy the continued listing standards of Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Amex Company Guide because it sustained losses which were so substantial in relation to its overall operations or its existing financial resources, or its financial condition had become so impaired that it appeared questionable, in the opinion of Amex, as to whether the Company would be able to continue operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature.
The October 25, 2007 notice from the Amex has indicated that Company is subject to provisions of Section 1009(h) of the Amex Company Guide for a period of twelve months which provides for the method of evaluation and appropriate action by the Amex staff should the Company fall below the continued listing standards during that period. Depending on the circumstances, such action includes truncating procedures related to compliance with the continued listing standards or immediately initiating delisting proceedings.
On October 29, 2007, MPC Corporation issued a press release concerning the Amex notice described in Item 3.01 above. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
