THOMPSON FALLS, MT / ACCESSWIRE / April 21, 2023 / United States Antimony Corporation (NYSE:UAMY) ("USAC" or the "Company") today announced that it received notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") indicating that because the Company did not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "Form 10-K"), it is not in compliance with Section 1007 of the NYSE America Company Manual as a result of its failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 Form 10-K) with the Security and Exchange Commission.(the "SEC"). The notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's stock on the NYSE American.
In accordance with the NYSE rules, the Company has contacted the NYSE to discuss the status of the late filing and is issuing this required press release. The NYSE informed the Company that, under NYSE rules, the company will have until October 17, 2023, to file the 2022 Form 10-K. The NYSE may grant at its sole discretion, an extension of up to six additional months to the Company to regain compliance, depending on specific circumstances.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the NYSE American may in its sole discretion decide (i) not to afford an issuer any cure period at all or (ii) at any time during any cure period, to truncate the cure period and immediately commence suspension and delisting procedures if the issuer is subject to delisting pursuant to any other provision of the NYSE American Company Guide, including if the NYSE American believes, in its sole discretion, that continued listing and trading of an issuer's securities on NYSE American is inadvisable or unwarranted in accordance with Sections 1001-1006 thereof.
As the Company reported on its Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023, the Company has been unable to finalize the 2022 Form 10-K as the Company's third-party independent auditors require additional time to perform audit procedures, complete related testing and review financial statements and other information for the Form 10-K. Management anticipates filing its Form 10-K at the earliest possible date.
