Britton & Koontz Capital Notifies Nasdaq Of Intent To Delist Stock

6/29/2012 2:11 PM ET

Britton & Koontz Capital Corp. (BKBK: Quote), the parent company of Britton & Koontz Bank N.A., said Friday it has today notified the NASDAQ Stock Market of its intent to delist its common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market and to shortly file a related notification with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company anticipates that its common stock will trade on the over-the-counter markets following the completion of its delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market.

Subsequent to the effective date of delisting, the company also intends to take the necessary action to deregister its common stock. The company is eligible to deregister because it has fewer than 1,200 holders of record of its common stock.

The Board determined that delisting and deregistration of the company's common stock is in the best interests of the company and its shareholders and is based on factors including the high costs in preparing and filing periodic reports with the SEC and its historically low trading volume.

Stocks moved sharply higher over the course of the trading day on Friday, more than offsetting the weakness seen on Thursday. In a reversal from the previous session, the markets benefited from some upbeat U.S. economic data as well as comments from a Federal Reserve official. The major averages saw further upside going into the close, with the Dow and the S&P 500 reaching new record highs. As the IRS targeting scandal continues to make headlines, animal-protection charity People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, claims that conservative groups are not the only ones that have faced increased scrutiny from the agency. While the IRS targeting scandal has taken center stage on Capitol Hill on Friday, the results of a new Gallup poll showed that the American public's interest in the story is comparatively low based on historical measures. The poll showed that 54 percent of Americans are following the news that the IRS targeted conservative groups for greater scrutiny "very" or "somewhat" closely.
