BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE MKT: LEU) today reported that it has received notification from the NYSE MKT LLC that the Company has regained compliance with the NYSE MKT’s continued listing standards.
“Today’s announcement reflects our focus on shareholder value and the continued progress that we are making,” said Daniel B. Poneman, Centrus’ president and chief executive officer.
On November 17, 2015, Centrus received notice from the NYSE MKT indicating that the Company was not in compliance with continued listing standards. In December 2015, Centrus submitted a plan to the NYSE MKT outlining the steps the Company would take to regain compliance by May 17, 2017. That plan was formally accepted by NYSE MKT in January 2016, and the Company has continued to be listed on the exchange throughout the 18-month period.
The notification from the NYSE MKT, received on April 28, 2017, confirms that Centrus is back in compliance with the listing standard. In accordance with NYSE MKT regulations, the Company will be subject to a 12-month follow-up review period to ensure that the Company does not fall below any of the NYSE MKT’s continued listing standards.
