Delisting

Delisting – The removal of a listed security from the exchange on which it trades. Stock may be removed from an exchange because the company for which the stock is issued may (1) voluntarily or involuntarily not be in compliance with the listing requirements of the exchange; (2) choose, with the approval of its shareholders, to voluntarily delist; or (3) be acquired by another company. Delisting of a debt product such as a bond occurs on the maturity date (day of repayment) of the principal (loan amount) to investors.
