NEW Stock received notice from NYSE

On 19th August, NEW announced that it had received a notice from NYSE.

According to section 802.01C of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, a company would be considered below compliance criteria if the average closing price of its security remains less than $1 over a consecutive 30 day period. The company must bring back its share price over $1 within six months following the receipt of notification. The notice had no immediate effect on the listing of the company’s ADSs. It will continue to be traded listed on NYSE during the cure period (six month period). This listing is subjected to the continued compliance with other listing requirements of NYSE. The company said that to address the issue, it would monitor the market conditions of its listed securities.
