Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
(a) As previously disclosed on August 23, 2010, American Apparel, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the NYSE Amex LLC (the “Exchange”) stating that the Company’s timely filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 (the “Form 10-Q”) is a condition for the Company’s continued listing on the Exchange, as required by Sections 134 and 1101 of the Exchange’s Company Guide, and that the Company’s failure to timely file the From 10-Q is a material violation of the Company’s listing agreement with the Exchange. The letter from the Exchange provided that the Company must submit to the Exchange by August 31, 2010 any supplemental information addressing how the Company plans to regain compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the Company Guide by no later than November 15, 2010.
On September 13, 2010, the Company received a letter from the Exchange stating that the Exchange completed its review of the Company’s updated compliance plan and granted the Company an extension until November 15, 2010 for the Company to file the Form 10-Q. The Company will be subject to periodic reviews by the Exchange during the extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with continued listing standards by the end of the extension period could result in the Company being delisted from the Exchange.
On September 17, 2010, the Company issued a press release disclosing the foregoing. A copy of that press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
