INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT
Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a press release of Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (the "Company") dated November 1, 2013, announcing the receipt of a Nasdaq determination letter.
EXHIBIT 1
SEANERGY MARITIME HOLDINGS CORP.
RECEIVES NASDAQ DETERMINATION LETTER
November 1, 2013 – Athens Greece Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: SHIP) announced today that on October 30, 2013, it received a Staff Delisting Determination letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that, due to non-compliance with the minimum $2.5 million stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b), trading of the Company's common stock will be suspended unless the Company requests an appeal of this delisting determination by November 6, 2013.
The Company intends to timely request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") to appeal the delisting determination. Such request will stay the suspension of trading and delisting of the Company's common shares from the Nasdaq Capital Market pending the Panel's decision after a hearing. Under Nasdaq's Listing Rules, the Panel may, in its discretion, grant an exception to the continued listing standards for a maximum of 180 calendar days from the date of the delisting determination. However, there can be no assurances that the Panel will grant such exception. The Company intends to present to the Panel the status of its previously announced financial restructuring plan and its plan to establish compliance with the minimum $2.5 million stockholders' equity requirement.
Stamatis Tsantanis, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "Seanergy expected this determination letter and looks forward to the hearing with the independent Panel to discuss its plan to regain compliance. In addition, the Company continues to implement its ongoing restructuring plan, which aims to establish a viable financial structure and ensure its ability to participate in new investment opportunities."
