The Company has a right to a review of this determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of the Exchange. The NYSE will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Company’s Class A common stock upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the NYSE Regulation staff’s decision.
