I think probably the SEC just hasn't got round to them for some reason. With non-reporters, its different. The company can go out of business and the officers disappear, but the ticker will keep on ticking.
There's no mechanism to get rid of it, as long as there're occasional trades. If it stops trading altogether, then FINRA will delete it as an "inactive issue".
