KIDBQ Kid Brands Inc (CE)

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ--(Marketwired - Mar 28, 2014) - Kid Brands, Inc. (NYSE: KID) today announced that it has received notification by NYSE Regulation, Inc. that trading of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") will be suspended prior to the opening of trading on March 31, 2014, and that the NYSE intends to file a delisting application with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company anticipates that its common stock will be immediately eligible for quotation on the OTCQB Marketplace at the opening of trading on March 31, 2014 under the symbol "KIDB". The OTCQB Marketplace is a market tier operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. for over-the-counter traded companies.

The NYSE is delisting the Company's common stock because the Company was not in compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standard set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because its average global equity market capitalization was less than $15.0 million over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The Company does not intend to appeal the delisting determination.

The transition to the OTCQB Marketplace will not change the Company's obligation to file periodic and other reports with the SEC under applicable federal securities laws, and Kid Brands' shareholders remain owners of the common stock.
