Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
As previously disclosed, the Company has not yet filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2004 (the “2004 10-K”). As a result, the Company has not yet been able to distribute its annual report to shareholders for fiscal 2004. As of May 29, 2004, the Company was therefore not in compliance with Rule 203.01 of the New York Stock Exchange’s Listed Company Manual, which requires that a listed company deliver an annual report to shareholders within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year. As disclosed in the Company’s May 9, 2005 news release, the Company expects to file the 2004 Form 10-K on or before September 1, 2005. The Company provided notice to the New York Stock Exchange of this expected filing date on May 9, 2005. The Company intends to distribute its annual report to shareholders following the filing of the 2004 10-K.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 31, 2005 the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors determined that it would supplement its previously disclosed investigation with an additional inquiry. A copy of the June 3, 2005 news release disclosing the supplemental inquiry and several related matters is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated in this Item 8.01 by reference.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
