RESTON, Va., Dec. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- NII Holdings,
Inc. ("NII") [NASDAQ: NIHD] today announced that it notified the
Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") of its intent to delist its common
stock, par value $0.001 per share
(the "Common Stock"), from the Nasdaq Global Select
Market. NII expects to file a Form 25 (Notification of
Removal from Listing) with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") and Nasdaq relating to the delisting of the Common
Stock on or about December 30, 2019
and to suspend trading of its Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global
Select Market prior to the opening of trading on January 2, 2020. NII does not expect that a
trading market will develop for its Common Stock following
suspension of trading on Nasdaq. NII expects that the official
delisting of its Common Stock will be effective January 9, 2020.
As previously disclosed, NII's stockholders approved a plan to
liquidate and dissolve NII following the completion of the then
pending sale of its operations in Brazil, its sole remaining operating asset. In
a separate release, NII today announced that this sale was
completed on December 18, 2019. As a
result, in addition to delisting its Common Stock, NII intends to
file its certificate of dissolution on or about January 13, 2020.
NII also intends to file a Form 15 as soon as practicable to
indefinitely suspend its reporting obligations under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), and seek relief from
its reporting obligations under the Act to file a Form 10-K for the
year ending December 31, 2019. The
decision to seek such relief and to suspend such reporting
obligations was based on numerous considerations, including the
auditing, legal and other costs and expenses associated with
continuing to make such filings with the SEC.
