MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTS) (the “Company”) today announced that it will voluntarily delist its common stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market, and based upon ownership of its shares by fewer than 300 holders of record, deregister its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and suspend its public reporting obligations.

Cabell Lolmaugh, the Company’s CEO, stated, “We’ve undertaken a thorough and thoughtful review of our cost structure, including costs associated with being a Nasdaq-listed and SEC reporting company.  After careful consideration, our Board of Directors decided to voluntarily delist from Nasdaq and deregister with the SEC as we believe the savings that will benefit our shareholders outweigh the advantages of continuing as a Nasdaq-listed and SEC reporting company.”

The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or about November 1, 2019 in order to delist from Nasdaq. The Company anticipates that the last day of trading on Nasdaq will be on or about November 8, 2019.  The Company’s common stock may thereafter be eligible for trading on an over-the-counter market, if one or more brokers chooses to make a market for the Company’s common stock; however, there can be no assurances regarding any such trading.

On or about November 12, 2019, the Company intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC, at which time the Company anticipates that its obligations to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including annual, quarterly and current reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, respectively, will be suspended, and that all requirements associated with being an Exchange Act-registered company, including the requirement to file current and periodic reports, will terminate permanently 90 days thereafter. The Company still intends to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2019.

Further information about the Company’s intention to delist from Nasdaq and deregister its common stock can be found in the Company’s “Frequently Asked Questions Relating to the Proposed Delisting and Deregistration,” which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC today, or on the Company’s website at investors.tileshop.com.

The Company also announced that it will not hold its previously scheduled third quarter 2019 earnings call at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time today, Tuesday, October 22, 2019.
