Windstream Holdings Inc. (fka WINMQ)

[PennyStock Alert]

Here it is: WINQ


As previously reported, on February 25, 2019, Windstream Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and all of its subsidiaries, including Windstream Services, LLC (collectively, “Windstream”), filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
On February 25, 2019, the Company received a letter from the listing qualifications department staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5101, 5110(b) and IM-5101-1, Nasdaq has determined that the Company’s common stock will be delisted from Nasdaq. Accordingly, unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination, trading of the common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on March 6, 2019 and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will remove the Company’s common stock from listing and registration on Nasdaq.
The Company does not intend to appeal the determination and, therefore, it is expected that the common stock will be delisted. The Company expects that the trading of its common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or “pink sheets” market will commence on March 6, 2019 under the symbol “WINQ”. The transition does not affect Windstream’s operations and does not change reporting requirements under SEC rules.
