Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule
or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 3, 2009, Six Flags, Inc. (the "Company") received notice from
NYSE Regulation, Inc. ("NYSE Regulation") that it has determined that the
Company's common stock and Preferred Income Equity Redeemable Shares ("PIERS")
should be suspended from trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") prior
to the market opening on April 20, 2009. The decision is the result of the
Company not satisfying the NYSE's continued listing standard regarding average
global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading day period of not
less than $75 million and total stockholders' equity of not less than $75
million.
On April 9, 2009, the Company issued a press release stating that it
expects the Company's common stock and PIERS will be traded on the
over-the-counter market and quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board upon delisting from
the NYSE. The Company also announced that it does not intend to appeal NYSE
Regulation's determination to suspend trading of the Company's common stock and
PIERS. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
