Culp Regains Compliance with NYSE Listing Standards
HIGH POINT, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 1, 2010--Culp, Inc. (NYSE: CFI) today announced it received notification on January 29, 2010, from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that Culp has regained compliance with the NYSE’s quantitative continued listing standards. Culp received a letter of noncompliance from the NYSE in December 2008, notifying the company that it had fallen below both the minimum shareholders’ equity and market capitalization requirements for continued listing on the NYSE. Culp’s reinstatement to compliance comes as a result of the company’s consistent, positive performance commensurate with the business plan submitted to the NYSE, and its compliance with the NYSE’s minimum market capitalization and shareholders’ equity requirements over the past two quarters.
