CCG Campus Crest Communities, Inc.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Campus Crest Communities, Inc. (NYSE: CCG) (the "Company"), today announced that, due to the management team's work to enhance its disclosure practices and internal controls, the Company will be delayed in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Campus Crest expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K in the near-term and as quickly as practicable. The Company also noted that it is in a quiet period until this filing is made with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

The Company previously disclosed, in another form it recently filed with the SEC, that it is unable to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K because of the additional time required to complete its annual review and assessment.

As a result of the filing delay, Campus Crest has informed the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that it is working diligently to complete the 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In response, the NYSE has provided formal notification to the Company that it is not currently in compliance with the NYSE's continued listing requirements under the timely filing criteria set forth in Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. Such notices are routinely issued by the NYSE in situations when there are late filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If Campus Crest does not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K by 2:30pm March 23, 2015, its common stock, which is listed on the NYSE under the symbol "CCG," will be assigned an "LF" indicator to signify late filing status. Under NYSE rules, the Company has six months from March 17, 2015, subject to ongoing evaluation, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K. Campus Crest can regain compliance with the NYSE listing standards at any time during this six-month period once it files its Form 10-K with the SEC. If it fails to file its annual report within such six-month period, the NYSE may, in its sole discretion, allow Campus Crest's common stock to trade for up to an additional six months depending on specific circumstances as outlined in the rule. It is expected that the Company would need to submit an official request to the NYSE for the NYSE's consideration at the appropriate time.

Although Campus Crest is working diligently to complete the 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K and currently expects to complete and file the 2014 Form 10-K within six months of its due date, no assurance can be given that the 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K will be filed within such period, or that the NYSE would allow the Company's securities to trade for up to an additional six months.
