TRX to Voluntarily Delist from NASDAQ Capital Market
ATLANTA, March 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TRX, Inc. (www.trx.com) (Nasdaq: TRXI), a world-leading provider of travel technology, process automation, consulting services and data services, today announced that it has decided to voluntarily delist from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
On March 11, 2010, TRX, Inc. (the "Company") received a letter from the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market advising the Company that it no longer complies with Listing Rule 5550(b), which requires the Company to have a minimum of $2.5 million in stockholders' equity. In addition, the Company continues to not be in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) regarding the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, which cure period expires on March 29, 2010.
After considering a number of factors, including the expenditure of resources necessary to seek to regain compliance with Nasdaq's Listing Rules within Nasdaq's timeframe and then attempting to maintain its Nasdaq listing, the Company has decided not to undertake potentially expensive and dilutive efforts to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum equity rule or minimum bid price rule, which may or may not be successful. Rather, the Company has decided to voluntarily delist from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
"Our common stock has been trading by appointment for some time," said TRX President & CEO Shane Hammond. "We expect it will continue to trade over-the-counter, and view this change as inconsequential for our clients and employees. We're focused on continuing to improve the fundamentals and operations of TRX for the benefit of all stakeholders."
Accordingly, a Form 25 will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2010, trading of the Company's common stock will be suspended on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on March 30, 2010 for failure to meet the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, and the Company's common stock will be removed from listing and quotation on the Nasdaq Capital Market effective April 1, 2010. The Company anticipates its Common Stock will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and/or the Pink OTC Markets Inc., but cannot give assurance that its common stock will be available to be quoted on one or both markets before or after trading in the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market has ended.
