Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule
or Standard; Transfer of Listing
As previously disclosed, Avaya Holdings Corp. (the "Company") failed to timely
file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 (the
"Form 10-Q"), for the reasons described in the Company's notification on Form
12b-25 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August
9, 2022. On August 16, 2022, the Company received a notice (the "NYSE Notice")
from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") notifying the Company that,
because the Company did not timely file the Form 10-Q, it is not in compliance
with Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, which requires that
NYSE-listed companies timely file all periodic reports with the SEC.
The NYSE Notice is a routine notification to NYSE-listed companies who are
untimely in filing their periodic reports, and has no immediate effect on the
listing of the Company's common stock on the NYSE. The NYSE Notice informed the
Company that, under the NYSE's rules, the Company has six months from the date
of the NYSE Notice, until February 15, 2023, to file the Form 10-Q and regain
compliance with the NYSE listing standards. If the Company fails to file the
Form 10-Q by the six-month deadline, the NYSE may, in its sole discretion, grant
an extension of up to six additional months for the Company to regain
compliance, depending on the specific circumstances. Under NYSE rules, the NYSE
may also commence delisting proceedings at any time if it deems that the
circumstances warrant such proceedings.
The Company is working to resolve the issues that have led to the delay in the
Form 10-Q filing in order to be able to file the Form 10-Q as soon as possible,
but in any event expects to make the Form 10-Q filing before the February 15,
2023 deadline stipulated by the NYSE in the NYSE Notice.
Item 8.01. Other Events
On August 16, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of
the NYSE Notice. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1
and is incorporated herein by reference.
