the appropriateness of continued listing. The following is a summary of NYSE MKT’s quantitative continued listing standards. For a more<br />

complete discussion of NYSE MKT’s continued listing standards, as well as the procedures followed when a company falls below any of the<br />

continued listing criteria, see Section 1003 and Section 1009 of the Company Guide, which can be accessed at http://wallstreet.cch.com/<br />
