($TPI), a pharmaceutical company that specializes in the patented biopharmaceutical, modernized traditional Chinese medicine (mTCM), branded generics and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), received notice on February 24, 2015 from the NYSE MKT LLC (the "Exchange") indicating that the Company is below certain of the Exchange's continued listing standards, as set forth in Sections 134 and 1101 of the NYSE MKT Company Guide, due to the delay in filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2014 (the "Form 10-Q"). Under NYSE MKT rules, until the Company files the Form 10-Q, its common stock will remain listed on the NYSE MKT under the symbol "TPI," but will be assigned an ".LF" indicator to signify late filing status. Five business days following the receipt of the noncompliance letter, the Company will be added to the list of NYSE MKT noncompliant issuers on the website and the indicator will be disseminated with the Company's ticker symbol. The indicator will be removed when the Company has regained compliance with all applicable continued listing standards.
In order to maintain its listing, the Company must submit a plan of compliance by March 10, 2015 addressing how it intends to regain compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the NYSE MKT Company Guide by May 22, 2015. If the plan is accepted, the Company may be able to continue its listing but will be subject to periodic reviews by the Exchange. If the plan is not accepted or if it is accepted but the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by May 22, 2015, or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the plan, the Exchange will initiate delisting procedures as appropriate. The Company intends to submit a compliance plan on or before the deadline set by the Exchange.
Currently the Company is working diligently with the auditor to compile and disseminate the information required to be included in the Form 10-Q, as well as the required review of the Company's financial information. The Company expects to file the Form 10-Q as soon as possible and before the deadline set by the Exchange.
