Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On October 2, 2006, the New York Stock Exchange ( “NYSE”) granted ProQuest Company (the “Company”) an extension for continued listing and trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “2005 Form 10-K”) with the SEC, through January 2, 2007. The extension is subject to ongoing review by the NYSE. NYSE also stated that if the Company does not complete its 2005 10-K filing with the SEC by April 2, 2007, NYSE will move forward with the initiation of suspension and delisting procedures.

 

The Company is not currently in compliance with NYSE Rule 203.01, which requires a listed company to distribute its annual report to its shareholders not later than 120 days after the close of each fiscal year, and Rule 302.00, which requires a listed company to hold an annual shareholders meeting during each fiscal year. The Company intends to distribute its annual report to shareholders following the filing of the 2005 Form 10-K.

 

A copy of the Company’s press release issued on October 2, 2006, announcing this extension from NYSE, is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
