The New York Stock Exchange announced today that it had determined the common stock of Federal-Mogul Corporation -- ticker symbol FMO -- should be delisted from the exchange. The NYSE told Federal-Mogul it made the decision to delist the common stock because the company had fallen below the NYSE's continued listing standard regarding average closing price of less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading day period and that Federal-Mogul did not cure this non-compliance prior to the expiration of the NYSE's allowable cure period.
``The delisting from the New York Stock Exchange does not affect Federal- Mogul's normal business operations,'' said Frank Macher, chairman and chief executive officer. ``While we are disappointed with the Exchange's decision, we remain focused on providing products and services of value to our customers worldwide.''
On October 1, 2001 Federal-Mogul and its United States subsidiaries filed for financial restructuring under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The company's United Kingdom subsidiaries had also filed jointly for Chapter 11 and Administration under the U.K. Insolvency Act of 1986.
