Item�3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On January 15, 2015, RadioShack Corporation (the Company) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) that the average market capitalization of the Company was less than $50 million over a period of 30 consecutive trading days and stockholders equity of the Company was below $50 million, which are the minimum market capitalization and stockholders equity requirements for continued listing on the NYSE under Rule 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.
Under NYSE rules, the Company has 45 days following receipt of the notification to provide the NYSE with a business plan that demonstrates the Companys ability to regain compliance within 18 months.��If the Company submits a business plan, the Listings and Compliance Committee of the NYSE will either accept the business plan or if the Committee does not accept the business plan the Company will be subject to suspension by the NYSE and delisting.
The notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Companys common stock, which will continue to trade on NYSE under the symbol RSH. If the common stock ultimately were to be delisted for any reason, it could (1)�reduce the liquidity and market price of the common stock and (2)�negatively impact the ability of the Company to conduct equity financings and access the public capital markets.
As required under NYSE rules, the Company issued a press release on January 22,�2015, announcing that it had received the notice of noncompliance. A copy of this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
