This Current Report (Form 8-K) was filed by AMR Corporation on December 29, 2011, regarding events occurring on December 27, 2011. The filing addresses the company's status with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in the context of its recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide specific financial metrics such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt levels, or liquidity ratios. The document focuses exclusively on regulatory compliance regarding stock listing standards.
Material Changes
- Share Price Deficiency: The average closing price of AMR's common stock fell below the NYSE's minimum continued listing standard of $1.00 over a consecutive 30-trading-day period ending December 27, 2011.
- Securities Affected: The deficiency impacts AMR common stock (AMR), 7.875% Public Income Notes due 2039 (AAR), and 9.00% Debentures due 2016 (AMR 16).
- Delisting Action: The NYSE initiated suspension and delisting procedures. Trading was expected to be suspended prior to the market opening on January 5, 2012.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management stated that due to the company's recent Chapter 11 filing, it is unable to affirm an intent to cure the share price deficiency. Consequently, AMR does not oppose the suspension and delisting of its securities from the NYSE. The company expects delisting to occur upon approval by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
