Global Entertainment Corporation (OTCBB: GNTP), an integrated event and entertainment company, today announced that it filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to deregister the Company’s common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Global Entertainment’s Board of Directors arrived at the conclusion to deregister the Company’s common stock as a result of the costs and administrative burdens associated with being a reporting public company, as well as the lack of an active trading market for the Company’s common stock. The Company does not believe that deregistering its common stock under the Exchange Act will materially impact its current operations, current relationships with employees, customers and suppliers, or its existing financing arrangements.

Immediately upon the filing of the Form 15, the Company will no longer be obligated to file certain reports with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. The Company expects that the deregistration of its common stock will become effective 90 days following the filing of the Form 15. Global Entertainment’s common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, however, upon filing the Form 15, the Company’s common stock will no longer be eligible to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.

Notwithstanding the Company’s decision to deregister its common stock, the Company intends to continue to hold annual meetings and to make available to its shareholders annual financial statements to comply with all shareholder rules and requirements under Nevada statutes where Global Entertainment is domiciled.
