NAMPA, Idaho, July 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MPC Corporation (Amex: MPZ)
today announced that it has received a letter from the American Stock Exchange
(AMEX) accepting its plan for regaining compliance with the Exchange's
continued listing standards. The AMEX has granted MPC Corporation an
extension until November 9, 2009, to regain compliance with its continued
listing standards.
Previously, the AMEX had notified MPC Corporation that it is out of
compliance with Section 1003 (a)(i) of the AMEX Company Guide, in that it has
stockholders' equity of less than $2 million and sustained losses from
continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal
years.
MPC Corporation will be subject to periodic review by the AMEX staff
during the extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the
plan or regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of
the extension period could result in MPC Corporation being delisted from the
American Stock Exchange.
More information concerning the AMEX letter can be found in the Form 8-K
filed by MPC on July 3, 2008.
