NYSE Continued Listing Standard Notice
On February 21, 2024, the Company was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that the Company is not currently in compliance with NYSE’s continued listing standard, which requires all listed companies to have a minimum of 400 public stockholders on a continuous basis. The NYSE notification has no impact on the Company’s business operations or the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements.
Under the NYSE rules, the Company has 45 days to present a business plan to NYSE that demonstrates how the Company intends to cure the deficiency within 18 months of the date of the NYSE notice. Throughout this 18-month cure period, Greenfire’s common shares will continue to be traded on NYSE, subject to the Company’s compliance with other NYSE listing requirements.
The Company will respond to NYSE to confirm its intent to cure this deficiency. Greenfire believes the recent listing of its common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the upcoming expiration of the 6-month lock-up agreements entered into upon completion of the Company’s business Combination on September 20, 2023, which currently cover approximately 65% of the Company’s outstanding common shares, will aid Greenfire in meeting NYSE’s requirement to have 400 public stockholders.
