Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing
Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On April 6, 2009, W Holding Company, Inc. (the “Company”), the bank holding company for
Westernbank Puerto Rico, was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Company
is not in compliance with NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 802.01E because the Company has not
timely filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 (the “2008
Form 10-K”). Accordingly, the Company is subject to the procedures specified in Section 802.01E,
which provides, among other things, that the NYSE will monitor the Company and the filing status of
the 2008 Form 10-K on an ongoing basis for up to a six-month period from the date the 2008 Form
10-K was due to be filed (including any applicable extension period), during which time the
Company’s common stock will continue to be listed.
The Company was not able to timely file the 2008 Form 10-K due to the substantial time devoted
to completing and filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2007. Additionally, as previously reported on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on
January 30, 2009, the Company recently engaged BDO Seidman, LLP (“BDO Seidman”) as its independent
registered public accounting firm for the audit of the Company’s fiscal year 2008 financial
statements. The Company and BDO Seidman are currently working expeditiously to complete the audit
and to file the 2008 Form 10-K. At this time, the Company is unable to predict when it will file
the 2008 Form 10-K.
A copy of the Company’s press release in connection with the foregoing is attached as
Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
