Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. On September 28, 2005, the Trustees of the City Investing Company Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”) received a Nasdaq Staff Deficiency Letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that for 30 consecutive days the bid price of the Trust’s securities had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4). Because of the reduced assets of the Trust following the cash distribution paid on August 15, 2005, the Trustees do not expect compliance with the minimum bid price to be reestablished; however, the Trustees intend to use reasonable efforts to take advantage of any available rights to extend compliance periods or to appeal any notification of delisting.

On September 28, 2005, the Trustees of the City Investing Company Liquidating Trust (CNVLZ) received a Nasdaq Staff Deficiency Letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the Trust’s securities no longer satisfied the continued-listing requirement set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) that listed securities maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00, the possibility of which was noted in the Trust’s forms 8-K and 10-Q dated as of July 29, 2005. Pursuant to Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(8)(D), the Trust will have 180 calendar days, or until March 27, 2006, to reestablish compliance with the listing requirements. If it is unable to reestablish compliance during that period, the Trust expects to be delisted or granted an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. Because of the reduced assets of the Trust following the cash distribution paid on August 15, 2005, the Trustees do not expect compliance with the minimum bid price to be reestablished; however, the Trustees intend to use reasonable efforts to take advantage of any available rights to extend compliance periods or to appeal any notification of delisting.
In the event that the Trust is delisted, it is expected that one or more of the present market makers will continue to make a market in the Units of the Trust; but they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market making in the Units at any time. Accordingly, a liquid trading market for the Units may not exist, which could result in holders of the Units being unable to sell Units at a particular time or for a favorable price.
