JRJR Networks to Address Notification of Noncompliance With NYSE MKT Continued Listing Standards

DALLAS, Jan. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- JRjr33, Inc., doing business as JRJR Networks [NYSE MKT: JRJR] has received a notification (the "Deficiency Letter") from the NYSE MKT LLC (the "Exchange") that the Company is not in compliance with certain NYSE MKT continued listing standards relating to stockholders' equity.

Specifically, the Deficiency Letter indicated that the Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(iii) (requiring stockholders' equity of $6.0 million or more if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years). As of September 30, 2016, the Company had stockholders' equity deficit of $(10,335,000). The Company is required to submit a plan to the NYSE MKT by February 9, 2017 advising of actions it has taken or will take to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by July 10, 2018.

The Company intends to submit a plan by the February 9, 2017 deadline. The Company has taken a number of steps to address its operations including stabilizing sales revenues, eliminating significant, redundant operating expenses and making its operating structure more efficient. These steps are designed to return the Company to profitability. In addition, the Company is in conversations with several potential acquisition candidates of profitable, cash generative companies which will further enhance profitability should these transactions be completed. 

If the Company fails to submit a plan, if the Company's plan is not accepted or if the Company fails to regain compliance by the deadline of July 10, 2108, the NYSE MKT may commence delisting procedures. The Company's common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE MKT while it attempts to regain compliance with the listing standards noted, subject to the Company's compliance with other continued listing requirements. The Company's common stock will continue to trade under the symbol "JRJR," but will have an added designation of "BC" to indicate that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE MKT's listing standards. The NYSE MKT notification does not affect the Company's business operations or its SEC reporting requirements and does not conflict with or cause an event of default under any of the Company's material agreements.
