Magnetek to transfer stock listing from NYSE to NASDAQ
Menomonee Falls-based Magnetek Inc., a provider of digital power and motion control systems, announced that it will voluntarily transfer its stock exchange listing from the New York Stock Exchange to the NASDAQ Global Market Exchange of the NASDAQ OMX Group Inc.
The company said it expects that its common stock will cease trading on the NYSE effective after the close of trading on Dec. 19 and will commence trading on the NASDAQ on Dec. 20.
The company’s common stock will continue to be listed under the ticker symbol “MAG.” Last week, Magnetek enacted a reverse stock split that reduced the number of outstanding shares of its common stock from 32.8 million to 3.28 million. The reverse stock split was enacted to help the company meet the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.
Magnetek, Inc. provides digital power and motion control systems used in overhead material handling, elevator, and energy delivery applications.
