NYSE To Suspend Trading In MF Global Holdings Ltd.- Moves To Remove From The List

NYSE Regulation, Inc. (“NYSE Regulation”) announced today that it determined that the common stock of MF Global Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) – ticker symbol MF – should be suspended immediately.

NYSE Regulation has determined that the Company is no longer suitable for listing. This decision was reached in view of the fact that both it and its MF Global Finance USA Inc. subsidiary filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the U.S Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on October 31, 2011. In addition, NYSE Regulation noted the uncertainty as to the timing and outcome of the bankruptcy process, as well as the ultimate effect of this process on the Company’s common stockholders. Separately, as part of its assessment, NYSE Regulation also considered the Company’s most recently filed quarterly net loss for the period ended September 30, 2011, as well as recent credit rating agency downgrades during the week of October 24, 2011, and the ongoing liquidity position of the Company. NYSE Regulation also reviewed an October 31, 2011 announcement from the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, indicating that it was initiating the liquidation of MF Global Inc., the Company’s brokerage subsidiary, under the Securities Investor Protection Act.

The Company has a right to a review of this determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation. Application to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the issue is pending the completion of applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the NYSE Regulation staff’s decision. The NYSE noted that it may, at any time, suspend a security if it believes that continued dealings in the security on the NYSE are not advisable.
