ATLANTA, Nov. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PureRay Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: PURY), a lighting-technology company specializing in solar-powered products, announces today it will extend the date for filing a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Originally set for November 28, 2008, the filing date for the Form 15 to affect the deregistration of PureRay's common stock is being extended to December 12, 2008, to give PureRay's Board of Directors and management time to consider strategic alternatives to deregistration that they believe may be in the best interests of PureRay and its shareholders. PureRay may determine to implement any such strategic alternatives and, as a result, not file the Form 15 to affect the deregistration of its common stock. However, PureRay has not yet determined to implement any such strategic alternatives to deregistration. The determination to implement any such strategic alternatives to deregistration or not file the Form 15 to affect the deregistration of PureRay's common stock will be made by PureRay's Board of Directors.
"We want to weigh all options that are available to us," said Mr. Jefrey Wallace, PureRay Corporation's President and CEO. "PureRay shareholders deserve no less than certainty from its Board of Directors that the company is moving in the right direction with regard to its being a public company."
Upon filing a Form 15, PureRay Corporation's obligations to file certain reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, would immediately be suspended; deregistration of the company's common stock would become effective ninety (90) days after the filing with the SEC. Upon the effectiveness of the deregistration of PureRay Corporation's common stock, it would no longer be a public reporting company, and its securities would cease trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.
