Apr 18, 2009 (The Kansas City Star - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) --
MNI | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- The McClatchy Co., owner of The Kansas City Star, has been notified by the New York Stock Exchange that it is not in compliance with two exchange listing requirements.

The Sacramento, Calif.-based company said it is in danger of being delisted because its market capitalization fell beneath $75 million over a consecutive 30-day trading period.

The company also said it fell beneath the stock exchange's minimum stockholders' equity requirement of $75 million. In its latest annual filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, McClatchy listed stockholders' equity of $52.4 million.

McClatchy said in a news release that it plans to bring the company in compliance with the listing standards. It has 45 days from April 14 to submit a plan.

The NYSE previously informed McClatchy that it had fallen below another listing standard -- maintaining a $1 minimum average price per common share over a consecutive 30-day trading period. McClatchy has been given until Dec. 7 to meet that standard.

Besides The Star, McClatchy, the third-largest newspaper publisher in the United States, owns 29 daily newspapers and about 50 non-dailies.
