CEDAR REALTY TRUST, INC. (NYSE:CDR-B) Files An 8-K Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On April 28, 2020, Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the average closing price of the Company’s common stock, $0.06 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), over the prior 30 consecutive trading-day period was below $1.00 per share, which is the minimum average closing price per share required to maintain listing on the NYSE under Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. Due to unprecedented market-wide declines as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the NYSE notice advised that the Company has until December 31, 2020 to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement.

The Company will return to compliance if, on the last trading day of a calendar month any time during the cure period, the closing price for the Common Stock is at least $1.00 and the average closing price over the 30 consecutive trading-day period ending on such last trading day of such month is at least $1.00 per share.  The Company will continue to monitor the closing price of the Common Stock and consider available options if it appears unlikely that the Common Stock will satisfy the minimum share price requirement by December 31, 2020. As necessary or desirable, the Company will consider implementing a reverse stock split of the Common Stock that would result in the price of the Common Stock exceeding $1.00 per share and remaining above that level for at least the following 30 trading days before the end of the cure period.   to Section 2-309(e) of Maryland General Corporation Law, implementing a reverse stock split of this nature would not require the prior approval of stockholders.

As required by the NYSE, the Company has timely responded to the NYSE with respect to its intent to return to compliance within the allotted cure period.

The NYSE notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Common Stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing criteria. The Common Stock will trade on the NYSE under the symbol “CDR” but will have an added designation of “.BC” to indicate the status of the Common Stock as “below criteria”. If the Company fails to regain compliance with Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual by the end of the cure period and the NYSE does not extend the cure period or otherwise grant the Company relief from this requirement, the Common Stock will be subject to the NYSE’s suspension and delisting procedures.

On May 4, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Company received the NYSE notice, as described above under Item 3.01. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 7.01 by reference.

The information set forth in this Item 7.01 and in the attached Exhibit 99.1 is being “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of Section 18, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
