On April 11, 2008, Frontier received a Staff Determination Letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as a result of Frontier’s filing for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Nasdaq has determined that Frontier’s securities will be delisted from Nasdaq in accordance with the discretionary authority granted to Nasdaq under Marketplace Rules 4300, 4450(f) and IM-4300.

 

Frontier does not intend to appeal this determination, and, as a result, trading of Frontier’s common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on April 22, 2008, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to remove Frontier’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.
