PR Newswire (US)
ATLANTA, Nov. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gray Television, Inc.
("Gray," "we" or "us") (NYSE: GTN; GTNA) today announced that, on
November 4, 2008, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) notified us
that Gray did not satisfy one of the NYSE's standards for continued
listing applicable to Gray's common stock. The NYSE noted
specifically that Gray was "below criteria" for the NYSE's price
criteria for Gray's common stock because the average closing price
per share, over a consecutive 30-trading-day period, was less than
$1.00 per share as of November 3, 2008. Under NYSE policy, in order
to cure the deficiency for this continued listing standard, Gray's
common stock share price and the average share price over a
consecutive 30-trading-day period must both exceed $1.00 by six
months following receipt of the non-compliance notice. Gray's
common stock and Class A common stock will remain listed on the
NYSE under the symbols "GTN" and "GTNA," respectively, during the
six month cure period subject to our compliance with other NYSE
continued listing requirements. Within 10 business days of receipt
of the non-compliance notice, Gray will notify the NYSE that it
intends to cure this price deficiency. Gray's business operations,
revolving credit agreements, other debt obligations and Securities
and Exchange Commission reporting requirements are unaffected by
this notification. Gray Television, Inc. Gray Television, Inc. is a
