Exela Technologies’ Warrants and Units to be Delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market; Common Stock Listing is Unaffected

IRVING, Texas, Sept. 13, 2017(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exela Technologies, Inc. (“Exela” or the “Company”)(NASDAQ:XELA) (NASDAQ:XELAW) (NASDAQ:XELAU), one of the largest global providers of transaction processing solutions and enterprise information management, has announced that it has received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market on September 7, 2017 pursuant to Listing Rule IM-5101-2, informing the Company that its warrants did not meet the minimum 400 round lot holder requirements for initial listing, as set forth in Listing Rule 5515(a)(4), and, by extension, the Company’s units (comprised of common stock and warrants) did not qualify for initial listing pursuant to Listing Rule 5225(b)(1)(A). Accordingly, Nasdaq has determined to initiate procedures to delist the Company's warrants and units from the Nasdaq Stock Market. The listing of the Company’s common stock, which is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol XELA, is not affected by this action.

The Company does not intend to challenge Nasdaq’s determination regarding the warrants and units. Accordingly, the Company's warrants and units will be scheduled for delisting from the Nasdaq Stock Market and will be suspended at the opening of business on September 18, 2017, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company's warrants and units from listing and registration on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The warrants and units will remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols XELAW and XELAU, respectively, until the warrants and units are delisted.

The shares of common stock and warrants underlying the units may be traded separately, and substantially all of the originally issued units have already been separated. Holders of the remaining units have the option to continue to hold units or separate their units into the component pieces by having their brokers contact the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer Trust Company.

Following the delisting, the Company anticipates that the warrants will be eligible to be quoted on either the OTC Bulletin Board or "Pink Sheets". No assurance, however, can be made that trading in the Company's warrants on the OTC Bulletin Board or "Pink Sheets” will commence or be maintained.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
