Press Release

CHRISTIANSTED, U.S. Virgin Islands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 26, 2024-- Altisource Asset Management Corporation (NYSE American: AAMC) (the “Company” or “AAMC”) today announced its intention to voluntarily delist from the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) and to deregister its common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) under Section 12(b) and Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

As previously disclosed, the Company received a notification letter from the NYSE American advising that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards set forth in Sections 1003(a)(ii) and (iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide given the reported stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2024, and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in the Company’s five most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023. In response, the Company submitted a plan of compliance. However, there can be no assurance that such plan of compliance will be successful or that the Company would be able to maintain its listing in the future.

Subsequent to submitting the compliance plan, the Company evaluated its option to voluntarily delist and deregister its Common Stock and determined that delisting and deregistering is the best path for the Company due to expected cost savings and the Company’s current inability to realize the traditional benefits of public company status. The low trading value, and the resulting low trading volume, limit our securities’ liquidity and affects the Company’s ability to raise capital from the public markets, effectively use its securities as transaction consideration, attract interest from institutional investors or market analysts or otherwise realize the traditional benefits of being a publicly traded company. Despite the lack of these benefits, the Company incurs all of the significant annual expenses and indirect costs associated with being a public company. The Company believes the reduction in time spent by its management and employees complying with the requirements applicable to SEC reporting companies will enable them to focus more on managing the Company’s businesses.

On August 26, 2024, the Company notified the NYSE American of its intention to voluntarily delist its Common Stock. The Company intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Form 25 on or about September 6, 2024 to effect the delisting from the NYSE American and the deregistration of the Company’s Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. As a result, the Company expects that listing and trading of its Common Stock on the NYSE American will end at market close on or about September 16, 2024.

Following the effectiveness of the Form 25, and after the Company has made all necessary SEC filings and is otherwise able to do so, the Company intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 to deregister the Company’s common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

As a result of the filing of the Form 15, the Company’s obligation to file certain Exchange Act reports and forms with the SEC, including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K, will be suspended. Other filing requirements will terminate upon the effectiveness of the deregistration. The Company expects that the deregistration of its Common Stock will become effective no later than 90 days after the filing of the Form 15 with the SEC.
