Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On December 27, 2011, AMR Corporation (“AMR”) received written notification from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that the average closing price of AMR's common stock fell below the NYSE's continued listing minimum share price standard of $1.00 over a consecutive 30-trading-day period as of December 27, 2011. This condition subjected AMR's common stock (ticker symbol AMR), 7.875% Public Income Notes (PINES) due 2039 (ticker symbol AAR), and 9.00% Debentures due 2016 (ticker symbol AMR 16) to the NYSE's suspension and delisting procedures. The NYSE expects that trading in AMR’s securities will be suspended prior to the opening of the market on Thursday, January 5, 2012.
AMR has informed the NYSE that, due to its recent Chapter 11 filing, it is not able to affirm an intent to cure the aforementioned share price deficiency and, accordingly, does not oppose the suspension and delisting from trading on the NYSE of its securities. AMR expects its securities to be delisted from the NYSE upon approval by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On December 29, 2011 AMR issued a press release that announced the matters addressed in Item 3.01 of this Form 8-K. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
