Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On July 7, 2021, Medley LLC received notification from the staff of NYSE Regulation, Inc. (“NYSE Regulation”) that it has determined to commence proceedings to delist Medley LLC’s 6.875% senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and Medley LLC’s 7.25% senior notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”). NYSE Regulation determined that Medley LLC was no longer suitable for listing pursuant to Listed Company Manual Section 802.01D in light of the uncertainty as to the ultimate effect of Medley LLC’s bankruptcy reorganization process on the value of the 2026 Notes and the 2024 Notes. Additionally, NYSE Regulation noted that, pursuant to the Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization and Wind-Down filed by Medley LLC on July 6, 2021, Medley Management Inc., as the majority member of Medley LLC, will receive no recovery on its majority ownership interest in Medley LLC and it is unclear what, if any, recovery will apply to Medley LLC’s securities. 

Under the NYSE delisting procedures, Medley LLC has a right to request a review of this determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of the New York Stock Exchange, provided a written request for such review is filed by July 21, 2021, ten business days after receiving the delisting notice. Medley LLC is continuing to evaluate whether to appeal the NYSE Regulation determination.
