Furniture supplier Chromcraft Revington (NYSE MKT: CRC) will voluntarily delist its common stock from the MYSE MKT and deregister from the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company's board of directors believes this is in the best interest of the company, which has less than 300 shareholders of record. In a release, the company said it had not been contacted by the NYSE MKT, but believes that it is no longer compliant with minimum listing standards.
Chromcraft Revington will file its paperwork April 18 for the delisting. The company will file April 29 paperwork with the SEC to suspend its reporting requirements.
Following delisting and deregistering, the company intends to provide quarterly and annual information regarding its performance through postings to its Web site and press releases.
The delisting is expected to take effect April 29.
"These actions are designed to reduce our operating costs," said Ronald Butler, chairman and CEO. "The consequences of remaining an SEC-reporting company, which includes significant costs and management time associated with regulatory compliance, outweighed the current benefits of being a NYSE MKT listed company."

"I was lucky enough to hire her as a public relations consultant on a project basis last year and got to experience firsthand what a talented communicator she really is. She has a unique ability to distill complex concepts and repackage them in a way that everyone understands. She is passionate about our industry and the people in it, and her network is unparalleled."

Wagner's Home Furnishings has joined the Furniture First buying group.
Founded in Missoula, Mont., in 1953, Wagner Home Furnishings is a full-line retailer offering special ordering and an in-house design consultation team. Like most Furniture First members, Wagners is family-owned and operated and maintains a strong connection with their community.
The addition of Wagners Home Furnishings brings the Furniture First membership to 202 stockholders, with 423 furniture stores in 47 states.
Each new member brings a unique business expertise to the group, and Furniture Firsts strength comes from that diversity, said Bill Hartman, president of Furniture First. We aim to continually improve members advantage by building profitable programs with manufacturers and offering exclusive merchandise, rebates, discounts and networking opportunities.
Furniture First only takes on stores that are full-line independents that have been in business for more than five years, though the average age of member businesses is more than 45 years. Stores are required to have good credit and meet minimum volume requirements. Most members, whether they have a single storefront or a chain of locations, serve the solid middle market of consumers. Since the group is geographically exclusive by representation, members are not in direct competition with each other, adding to the overall willingness to share and collaborate among the cooperatives members.
Furniture First members will meet in New Orleans May 13-15 for the buying groups Symposium. Furniture First has a sold out status for both members and vendor partners.
