The firm cited a number of reasons for the decision, including: cost savings from the elimination of filing reports with the SEC; the better reallocation of management time to long-term financial results; and the release of the company from the reporting obligations of being a reporting company.

“These actions are designed to reduce our operating costs,” said CEO Pengfei Liu. “The consequences of remaining an SEC-reporting company, which includes significant costs and management time associated with regulatory compliance, outweighed the current benefits of being a NYSE MKT listed company.”

The company said it intends to file on or about 1 November, a Form 25 with the SEC to voluntarily delist its common stock from the New York Stock Exchange. It is expected that delisting will take effect on or about 11 November.
