On March 22, 2013, The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and announced that it had delisted the Class A Stock of Ampal-American Israel Corporation (the “Company”). On March 25, 2013, NASDAQ announced that it was rescinding its delisting notice and Form 25, which had been erroneously filed. NASDAQ stated that the Company’s Class A Stock remains listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market, but that the Company’s Class A Stock is currently suspended from trading on NASDAQ pending the outcome of its appeal of a NASDAQ Hearing Panel determination to delist the Company’s Class A Stock. Should the Hearing Panel determination to delist the Company’s Class A Stock be affirmed, then NASDAQ stated that it will file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to complete the delisting and the delisting would become effective ten days after the Form 25 is filed.
