On November 5, 2008, CBRE Realty Finance, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by NYSE Regulation, Inc. (the “NYSER”) that the NYSER will permanently suspend trading of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) as of the close of market on November 7, 2008. The decision to suspend the Company’s common stock was based on the Company’s deficiency in meeting the requirements of the minimum market capitalization standard under Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the “Listed Company Manual”) which requires the Company to maintain a 30-trading-day average market capitalization of at least $25 million. The Company has also previously fallen below the continued listing standard under Section 802.01C of the Listed Company Manual requiring a listed common stock to maintain a minimum average closing price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days.
On November 7, 2008, the Company announced that as of November 10, 2008, the trading of the Common Stock will occur over-the-counter under the ticker symbol “CRTYZ.”
