Absent such confirmation, the NYSE will suspend trading at 4:00 a.m. on January 7, 2021. The NYSE will provide further information as available.
The Issuers have a right to a review of this determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of the Exchange. The NYSE will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Issuers and securities upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal of the NYSE Regulation staff’s decision.
