Katy expects the New York Stock Exchange will proceed in delisting Katy’s shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission, pending the completion of applicable procedures.  It is currently expected that the stock will trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, upon approval of its application.  

“While we are disappointed that our market capitalization and stockholders’ equity did not rise to the levels required by the New York Stock Exchange, our primary concerns are profitably growing the business and providing a liquid market for the Company’s current and future common stockholders.  We believe the OTC Bulletin Board will offer the Company’s current and future stockholders with the opportunity to continue to purchase and sell shares of our common stock at market prices” said Anthony T. Castor III, Katy’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
