PR Newswire (US)
AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Green Builders,
Inc. (NYSE Amex: GBH) (the "Company) announced today that it has
given formal notice to the NYSE Amex (the "Exchange") of its intent
to voluntarily delist from the Exchange. The Exchange had
previously notified the Company that it was not in compliance with
the Exchange's continued listing standards under Sections
1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii), 1003(a)(iii), and 1003(a)(iv) of the NYSE
Amex Company Guide (the "Company Guide"). On February 23, 2009 the
Company submitted a plan of compliance to the Exchange. On April
24, 2009 the Exchange notified the Company that it had accepted its
plan for regaining compliance with the Exchange's continued listing
standards and granted the Company an extension until July 23, 2009
to regain compliance with Section 1003 (a)(iv) and until July 23,
2010 to regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(i), Section
1003(a)(ii), and Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide. To
date, the Company has not made satisfactory progress consistent
with the plan presented to the Exchange and as such the Company's
Board of Directors has authorized the delisting of the Company's
common stock from the Exchange. The Company anticipates that it
will file a Form 25 with the SEC relating to the delisting of its
common stock on or about October 2, 2009. The Company expects that
the last day of trading of its common stock on the Exchange will be
on or about October 12, 2009. The Company will continue to focus
its efforts on reducing expenses and building its business rather
than on taking steps necessary to regain compliance with the
Exchange's continued listing standards. In addition, the Company is
considering taking additional cost-saving actions, which may
include, among other alternatives: (1) the deregistration of its
common stock from the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which the
Company believes would allow management to focus on the Company's
core business rather than spending time and effort on SEC reporting
and compliance with Sarbanes Oxley, (2) the renegotiation of its
subordinated convertible debt in order to improve its balance
sheet, attract new capital and reduce interest expense and (3)
taking actions to raise additional capital. The Company can give no
assurance that these actions will be taken or, if so, on what terms
such actions would be taken. Cautionary Note Regarding
