Altisource Asset Management Corporation Reports Receipt of Communications From NYSE American
On May 31, 2024, Altisource Asset Management (AAMC) received a notification letter from NYSE American indicating non-compliance with listing standards due to stockholders' equity as of March 31, 2024, and consecutive fiscal year losses ending December 31, 2023. To avoid delisting, AAMC must submit a compliance plan by June 30, 2024, demonstrating how it will meet the standards by December 1, 2024. If accepted, AAMC will continue listing subject to periodic review. Failure to submit or adhere to an accepted plan may result in delisting. Currently, AAMC's stock remains listed but marked as below compliance.
AAMC received additional time to regain compliance with NYSE listing standards.
The company's management is proactively analyzing submission plans to meet the compliance deadline.
AAMC's shares remain listed and traded on NYSE American under the symbol 'AAMC.'
Not in compliance with NYSE American's stockholders' equity requirements as of March 31, 2024.
Reported losses from continuing operations and net losses over the last five fiscal years ending December 31, 2023.
Failure to submit an acceptable compliance plan by June 30, 2024, or to meet the plan's requirements, may result in delisting.
Shares marked with '.BC' to indicate below compliance status.
Uncertainty if AAMC can achieve compliance within the required timeframe.
Altisource Asset Management Corporation receiving a non-compliance notice from the NYSE American is a significant event. It highlights potential financial instability that could impact shareholders. The fact that the company has reported losses over the last five fiscal years and has insufficient stockholders' equity is critical. This situation suggests a fundamental weakness in their financial health. Investors should be cautious, as failure to submit or execute an acceptable compliance plan by the NYSE deadline could lead to delisting, which would severely affect liquidity and stock value.
Short-term implications include a potential hit to the stock price due to reduced investor confidence, compounded by the '.BC' designation indicating below compliance status. Long-term implications hinge on the company's ability to turn around its financial performance. If they manage to regain compliance, the stock might recover, but this is uncertain and carries risk.
From a market perspective, the receipt of the NYSE American’s notice places Altisource Asset Management Corporation in a precarious position. The market typically responds negatively to such news, which could lead to increased volatility and a drop in share prices. Investors might see this as an opportunity to buy at a lower price if they believe in the company's long-term recovery strategies, but it comes with considerable risk.
The '.BC' designation is also likely to affect the market perception. It signals financial distress to the broader market, potentially leading to a sell-off. Investors should carefully monitor the company's progress on submitting and executing their compliance plan, as well as any strategic moves they announce to address their financial problems.
CHRISTIANSTED,
In order to maintain the Company’s listing on the NYSE American, the NYSE American has requested that the Company submit a plan of compliance (the “Plan”) by June 30, 2024, addressing how the Company intends to regain compliance with Sections 1003(a)(ii) and (iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide by December 1, 2024.
The Company’s management has begun its analysis regarding submission of the Plan to the NYSE American by the June 30, 2024 deadline. If the NYSE American accepts the Company’s Plan, the Company will be able to continue its listing during the Plan period and will be subject to continued periodic review by the NYSE American staff. If the Plan is not submitted, or not accepted, or is accepted but the Company does not make progress consistent with the Plan during the Plan period, the Company will be subject to delisting procedures as set forth in the NYSE American Company Guide.
The Company is committed to considering available options to regain compliance with the NYSE American’s stockholders’ equity requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing standards within the required time frame.
The notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s shares of common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE American during this period, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other listing requirements of the NYSE American. The common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “AAMC,” but will have an added designation of “.BC” to indicate the status of the common stock as “below compliance.” The notice does not affect the Company's ongoing business operations or its reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
