The Phoenix Companies, Inc. (NYSE: PNX) Obtains New York Stock Exchange Listing Extension

HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Phoenix Companies, Inc. (NYS: PNX) today announced it received an extension for continued listing and trading of the company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

The extension, subject to ongoing reassessment by the NYSE, provides the company an additional trading period up to January 31, 2014, during which it can file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If the 2012 Form 10-K is not filed by January 31, 2014, the NYSE may grant an additional extension up to April 3, 2014.

During the extension period, trading of the company's shares on the NYSE remains unaffected.

As previously reported, the delay in filing the 2012 Form 10-K is a result of restatement of financial statements for prior periods currently under way. Last month, Phoenix reported the restatement work continues to move forward, and that it intends to provide an update by October 15.
