Material Changes and Events
- Nasdaq Listing Decision: On July 1, 2014, the Nasdaq Hearing Panel granted BioFuel Energy Corp. a request for continued listing, overturning a previous delisting determination made on May 8, 2014.
- Conditions for Continued Listing: The decision is conditional upon two requirements:
- The Company must close the acquisition of equity interests in JBGL Builder Finance LLC and certain subsidiaries of JBGL Capital, LP by November 4, 2014.
- The combined company must satisfy all initial listing requirements for The Nasdaq Capital Market upon consummation of the transaction.
- Acquisition Status: The Company is actively working to complete the acquisition and prepare the necessary listing application, though no assurance of success is provided.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management, represented by President and CEO Scott H. Pearce, indicated that the Company is diligently working to meet the November 4, 2014 deadline. However, the filing explicitly states there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete the acquisition or satisfy the listing requirements within the afforded time period. Failure to meet these conditions could result in delisting.
