I-many: I-many, Inc. to Voluntarily Delist From NASDAQ
EDISON, NJ--(Marketwire - June 8, 2009) - I-many, Inc. (
As previously announced, on May 27, 2009, a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel determined to delist the Company's securities from the NASDAQ Capital Market because the company did not regain compliance with NASDAQ's minimum $2.5 million stockholders' equity requirement within the required timeframe. Accordingly, the company's securities were suspended from trading on NASDAQ effective as of the open of trading on May 29, 2009. The delisting from NASDAQ will not be completed, however, until NASDAQ files a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company understands that NASDAQ expects to file the Form 25 in late July.
Notwithstanding NASDAQ's expected filing date, the company wishes to complete the delisting at an earlier date in order to reduce and more effectively manage its regulatory and administrative costs and obligations, particularly in light of the company's previously announced agreement to merge with LLR Partners. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of I-many's stockholders at a meeting scheduled on June 25, 2009. It is expected to close shortly after the shareholder meeting, if approval is obtained.
Accordingly, the company plans to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about June 18, 2009, and the company expects the delisting from NASDAQ will be complete ten days thereafter, or on or about Monday, June 29, 2009. Notwithstanding its intent to voluntarily delist, the company will continue to adhere to the highest standards of corporate governance and public disclosure.
The company's securities are currently eligible for quotation on the electronic quotation service operated by Pink OTC Markets under the symbol "IMNY.PK"
