CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 13, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Swisher Hygiene Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:SWSH) announced today that the Company notified The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that it was withdrawing its request for a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel. The Company had earlier requested the hearing in response to its receipt of a delist determination from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”), dated November 12, 2015. As a result of the Company’s sale of substantially all of its operations to Ecolab Inc., the Staff’s letter indicated that it believes the Company is a “public shell” and, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5100, the continued listing of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market is no longer warranted. On January 13, 2016, Nasdaq informed the Company that trading in the Company’s common stock will be suspended on the Nasdaq Capital Market effective with the open of business on Friday, January 15, 2016, and that it will initiate the formal delisting process.
Effective with the open of business on Friday, January 15, 2016, the Company’s common stock will trade on the OTCQB Marketplace, and will continue to trade under the ticker symbol “SWSH”. Beginning Friday, January 15, 2016, investors will be able to view real-time best bid and ask quotes for “SWSH” at http://www.otcmarkets.com and through most online broker websites.
