Walter Investment Management Corp. (NYSE: WAC) announced today that on July 13, 2017 it received written notification from the New York Stock Exchange that the Company was considered to be below the compliance standards set forth under Rule 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the average closing price of the Company's common stock fell below $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period as of July 10, 2017.
Upon receipt of the Notice, the Company became subject to the procedures set forth in Rule 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, and in accordance with such procedures, on or before July 27, 2017, the Company expects to acknowledge receipt of the Notice and notify the NYSE of its intention to seek to cure the deficiency set forth therein.
The Company can regain compliance if, at any time in the six-month period following receipt of the Notice, the closing price of its common stock on the last trading day of any month is at least $1.00 and the 30 trading-day average closing price of its common stock on such day is also at least $1.00. If the Company determines that it intends to cure the stock price deficiency by taking a corporate action which would require approval by its stockholders, the six-month cure period described above may be extended in accordance with Rule 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual to allow the Company to obtain the requisite stockholder approval no later than its next annual meeting. The Company is considering various options it may take in an effort to cure this deficiency and regain compliance with Rule 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.
