Item
3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or
Standard; Transfer of Listing
On
December 18, 2008, the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") announced that the
common stock of Imperial Capital Bancorp, Inc. the “Company") (ticker
symbol: IMP) will be suspended prior to the opening of the market on
Monday, December 29, 2008. The NYSE determined to suspend trading because the
Company has fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard regarding average
global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period of not
less than $25,000,000, which is viewed as a minimum continued listing
threshold.
The
Company does not intend to take any further action to appeal the NYSE's decision
and therefore, it is expected that the common stock will be delisted after
completion by the NYSE of application to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company expects trading in its common stock will be transferred to the
over-the-counter market following the suspension of trading on the
NYSE.
