On December 4, 2014, Silver Eagle Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Office of General Counsel of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) stating that a NASDAQ Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) has determined to delist the Company’s shares from NASDAQ, effective at the open of business on December 8, 2014. The Company’s shares are being delisted as a result of the Company’s failure to demonstrate compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(3) (the “Minimum Public Holders Rule”), which requires the Company to have at least 300 public holders for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Company does not intend to request that the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council review the Panel’s decision. The Company was also notified that NASDAQ will complete the delisting by filing a Form 25-NSE Notification of Delisting with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission after applicable appeal periods have lapsed.
The Company expects that its common stock, warrants and units will begin trading on the OTCQB market under the current ticker symbols “EAGL,” “EAGLW” and “EAGLU,” respectively, effective at the open of the market on December 8, 2014. The OTCQB market is generally limited to companies that are subject to and current in Securities and Exchange Commission reporting obligations.
