Shares of Standard Motor Products (NYSE: SMP) are down 24% after the company suspended its quarterly dividend.

Standard Motor CEO Lawrence I. Sills said, "We have approximately $45 million outstanding of our original $90 million convertible debentures, due in July 2009. We are exploring various outside financing alternatives to help redeem these, as we concurrently execute a plan in place to retire the balance through internal cash flow. Suspension of the dividend is part of that plan."
