HWI Global, Inc. Intends to Deregister as SEC Reporting Company
(firmenpresse) - PITTSBURGH, PA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/18/12 -- HWI Global, Inc. (OTCBB: HWIC), the Pittsburgh-based clean room design builder, today announced that it intends to deregister the Company's common stock under Sections 12(g) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). The Company is filing the applicable form with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to deregister its common stock under the Exchange Act today. As a result, the Company's obligations to file annual, quarterly and current reports under the Exchange Act will be suspended after such filing with the SEC and its proxy statement, Section 16 and other Section 12(g) filing responsibilities, will terminate effective 90 days after the filing.
HWI Global, Inc. has less than 300 shareholders of record, which enables the Company to take this action. The Board of Directors concluded that the consequences of remaining an SEC-reporting company outweighed the current benefits of public company status. Among the factors considered were (1) the significant costs, both direct and indirect, incurred by HWI each year in connection with the preparation and filing of annual, quarterly and current reports; (2) the limited financial resources of the Company available for compliance in submitting periodic reports and forms with the SEC, audit and legal fees, Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 documentation and testing, Board of Directors fees and public company reporting and filing fees; (3) the lack of institutional investor interest and analyst coverage; and (4) the thinly traded nature of the HWI common stock.
