Aspen Group, Inc. Announces Voluntary Delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market

NEW YORK, March 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aspen Group, Inc. ("AGI") (Nasdaq: ASPU), an education technology holding company, today announced that it has given formal notice to the Nasdaq Stock Market of its intention to voluntarily delist its common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market and to deregister its common stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

The Company currently anticipates that it will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Form 25, Notification of Removal of Listing and/or Registration Under Section 12(b) the Exchange Act, relating to the delisting and deregistration on or about March 23, 2023, with the delisting of its common stock taking effect no earlier than ten days thereafter. As a result, the Company expects that the last trading day of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market will be on or about March 31, 2023. Further, on or about April 30, 2023, the Company intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC to suspend the Company's reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

The Company anticipates significant financial savings as a result of this decision. In addition, delisting and deregistration provide several benefits to the Company and its stockholders including lower operating costs, reduced management time commitment for compliance and reporting activities, and a simplified corporate governance structure.

The Company expects that its common stock will be quoted on the Pink Sheets platform or another market operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. (the “OTC”). The Company intends to continue providing information to its stockholders and taking actions within its control to facilitate the quoting of its common stock on the Pink Sheets or another OTC market, so that a trading market may continue to exist for its common stock. However, there is no guarantee that a broker will continue to make a market in the common stock or that trading of the common stock will continue on an OTC market or elsewhere.
