Item 3.01

 

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

Magnetek, Inc. (the “Company” or “Magnetek”) was notified by NYSE Regulation on September 8, 2011, that the Company fell below the continued listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).  The notice indicates that the Company does not satisfy the NYSE continued listing standards because its average market capitalization is less than $50 million over a 30 trading-day period and its stockholders’ equity is less than $50 million.  In accordance with applicable NYSE rules and within 45 days after the date the notice was received, the Company intends to submit a business plan demonstrating how it intends to regain compliance with the continued listing standards within 18 months.  Given the recurrence of having fallen below the continued listing standards, the NYSE may accept the Company’s plan but decide to truncate the 18 month period.  In the event that the NYSE does not accept the Company’s plan, Magnetek’s common stock would be subject to suspension and delisting proceedings.

As required under the NYSE rules, the Company issued a press release on September 9, 2011, announcing that it had received the notice of noncompliance with the NYSE continued listing standards.  A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
