IDW Media Announces Filing of Form 15 to Voluntarily Terminate Registration and Suspend SEC Reporting Obligations
LOS ANGELES, CA and NEWARK, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / May 18, 2023 / IDW Media Holdings, Inc., (the "Company" or "IDW") (NYSE American:IDW), an integrated media company, today announced that it voluntarily filed a Form 15 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to terminate the registration of its Class B Common Stock, par value
IDW's Board of Directors has determined that deregistration is in the overall best interests of the Company and its stockholders following review and careful consideration of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the expected reduction in operating expenses associated with continued listing and reporting, which would allow the Company to focus more resources on its recovery and growth plans.
Upon filing the Form 15, the Company's obligation to file periodic and current reports with the SEC, including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K, was immediately suspended. The Company's duty to file other reports with the SEC will be terminated 90 days after filing of the Form 15. The Company is current with its reporting requirements under the Exchange Act.
Despite the termination of registration, the Company plans to continue to disclose its financial statements on a quarterly and annual basis through the OTC Markets reporting service. The Company anticipates that its Class B Common Stock will initially be quoted on the OTC Markets marketplace in the Pink Sheets, while its application for the OTCQB is pending.
