Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 16, 2009, General Growth Properties, Inc. (the "Company") received a notice of delisting (the "Delisting Letter") from the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") under Rule 802.01 of the NYSE Continued Listing Criteria that the Company’s common stock has been suspended from trading on the Exchange and will be delisted from the Exchange as a result of the Company’s April 16, 2009 filing of a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. On April 16, 2009, the Company’s common stock began trading on the pink sheets under the symbol GGWPQ.
The last day that the Company's common stock traded on the Exchange was April 15, 2009.
The Company does not intend to take any further action to appeal the Exchange's decision, and therefore it is expected that the common stock will be delisted after the completion of the Exchange's application to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
