Interesting article on voluntary de-listing (or "going dark"), such as Fidelis has requested on Feb 22.

http://www.dorsey.com/going_dark_voluntary_delisting_deregistration/

According to that article, some of the advantages of doing so include:
. The stock will continue to trade on the Pink Sheets.
. Less public scrutiny and disclosure, making it easier to keep confidential such matters as competitive business information
. The company will have greater freedom to explore possible extraordinary corporate transactions

And one of the disadvantages:
. Many companies which go dark are sold or cease doing business within a few years after going dark.
