Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On April 20, 2020, Continental Materials Corporation (the “Company”), acting pursuant to authorization from its Board of Directors, issued a press release announcing its intention to voluntarily delist its Common Stock, par value $0.25 (the “Common Stock”), from the NYSE American Stock Exchange and to deregister its Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and suspend its SEC reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

The Company also provided written notice to NYSE American, LLC (the “Exchange”) on April 20, 2020 of the Company’s decision to voluntarily withdraw the listing of the Common Stock from the Exchange. The Company currently anticipates that it will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Form 25 relating to the delisting of its Common Stock on or about May 1, 2020, and anticipates that the delisting of its Common Stock will become effective on or about May 11, 2020.

 

Following the delisting of its Common Stock on the Exchange, the Company plans to file with the SEC a Form 15 to deregister its Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as the Common Stock is held by less than 300 stockholders of record.

 

The Company is taking these steps in order to reduce legal, accounting and administrative costs associated with being an SEC reporting company, to reduce the specificity of the financial information which the Company is required to disclose publicly in connection with its business segments, which disclosure the Company believes has, at times in the past, been competitively disadvantageous to the Company, and to allow the Company’s management to increase its focus on executing the Company’s strategic and business plan by reducing time spent in complying with applicable SEC reporting requirements. In addition, the number of shares of Common Stock which are publicly held (exclusive of holdings of officers, directors, controlling shareholders or other family or concentrated holdings) is less than 200,000 as a result the tender offer made by Bee Street Holdings LLC which was completed at midnight at the end of April 17, 2020, and the Common Stock may consequently no longer be eligible for listing on the Exchange pursuant to Section 1003(b)(i)(A) of the NYSE American Company Guide.

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Appointment of Principal Officers.

 

By correspondence received by the Company on April 18, 2020, Peter Thieriot and Darrell Trent notified the Company that they would resign as directors of the Company effective immediately. Messrs. Thieriot’s and Trent’s resignation was not the result of any disagreement with any Company policy or practice. Together with its Chairman, the Board intends to continue its ongoing work to identify qualified individuals to fill the vacancies on the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On April 20, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing its intent to file a Form 25 and to voluntarily delist its Common Stock from the Exchange and to file a Form 15 and to deregister its Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and suspend it SEC reporting obligations. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein.

 

The information, including the exhibit hereto, furnished in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filings made by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
