Material Changes and Events
- NYSE Non-Compliance Notice: On April 1, 2015, the company received a notice from NYSE Regulation, Inc. stating it failed to satisfy continued listing rules due to the late filing of its 2014 Form 10-K.
- Filing Delays: The 2014 Form 10-K was initially due March 16, 2015. The company filed a Form 12b-25 on March 17, 2015, requesting an extension, but failed to file the report by the extended deadline of March 31, 2015.
- Cause of Delay: Management attributed the delay to the time and resources required to complete the 2013 Annual Report and the 2014 Quarterly Reports (Q1, Q2, and Q3), all of which were filed late on February 12, 2015. This backlog substantially delayed the 2014 fiscal year-end close and audit.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Delisting Procedures: The NYSE will monitor the filing status for up to six months from the Filing Due Date (until September 30, 2015). If the 2014 Form 10-K is not filed within this period, the NYSE may allow trading for an additional six months before commencing suspension or delisting procedures.
- Management Expectations: The company anticipates filing the 2014 Form 10-K in the second quarter of 2015 but explicitly states it cannot provide assurances regarding this timeline.
- Risk Factors: Forward-looking statements are subject to risks including the impact of internal investigations, restatements, and delayed filings on business operations, customer/supplier relationships, and debt instruments. There are also risks related to potential material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting and litigation arising from the restatement.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the actual filing date of the 2014 Form 10-K to determine if the company met its Q2 2015 target.

- Examine the financial statements filed on February 12, 2015 (2013 10-K and 2014 10-Qs) to understand the nature of the restatements and internal control issues.
- Monitor subsequent communications from the NYSE regarding the six-month monitoring period and potential delisting actions.
- Check for updates on the internal investigation mentioned in the risk factors.
