NYSE to Suspend Trading Immediately in Party City Holdco Inc. (PRTY) and Commence Delisting Proceedings

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The New York Stock Exchange LLC (“NYSE” or “Exchange”) announced today that the staff of NYSE Regulation has determined to commence proceedings to delist the common stock of Party City Holdco Inc. (the “Company”) — ticker symbol PRTY — from the NYSE. Trading in the Company’s common stock will be suspended immediately.

NYSE Regulation reached its decision that the Company is no longer suitable for listing pursuant to Listed Company Manual Section 802.01D after the Company’s January 17, 2023 disclosure that the Company has filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. In reaching its delisting determination, NYSE Regulation noted the uncertainty as to the ultimate effect of this process on the value of the Company’s common stock. NYSE Regulation also noted that the Company’s restructuring support agreement contemplates that the holders of the existing common stock of the Company will receive no recovery or distribution.

The Company has a right to a review of this determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of the Exchange. The NYSE will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Company’s securities upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the NYSE Regulation staff’s decision.
