The exchange removed the notice and apologized, but did not explain how the error occurred.
?AIG is not subject to suspension and delisting, and was not responsible for the error,? exchange officials said in a statement about the July 1 posting. ?The post was removed upon discovery. The NYSE regrets the error.?
The NYSE temporarily suspended its $1 minimum price requirement in March, because of the plummeting prices of some major companies, including AIG. At AIG?s annual meeting, shareholders approved a one-for-20 reverse stock split to prop up the share price, in part to avoid possible delisting when the suspension expired (BestWire, June 30, 2009).
Efforts to obtain comment from the NYSE and AIG (NYSE: AIG | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) were not immediately successful.
Most AIG insurance companies currently have a Best's Financial Strength Rating of A (Excellent) with a negative outlook.
Shares of AIG were $18.64 in morning trading on July 2, up 3.2% from the previous close.
