Blue Bird Corporation today announced that the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) has determined that the Company’s Common Stock satisfies all requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. This determination resolves the pending Nasdaq proceedings relating to the round lot holders of the Company’s Common Stock. As previously announced, the number of round lot holders of the Company’s Common Stock now exceeds the minimum 400 round lot shareholder threshold applicable to issuers listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. The listing of the Company’s Common Stock will be transferred from the Nasdaq Capital Market tier to the Nasdaq Global Market tier effective with the open of business on June 2, 2015, with no interruption in trading.

Concurrently, Blue Bird announced that it has been notified that Nasdaq plans to delist the Company’s warrants from the Nasdaq Capital Market, also effective with the open of trading on June 2, 2015. Each of these warrants represents the right to purchase one-half of one share of Common Stock at a price of $5.75, subject to adjustment. At present, there are 11,500,000 warrants outstanding providing for the purchase of a total of 5,750,000 shares of Common Stock. Nasdaq’s determination is the result of there being an insufficient number of round lot holders of such warrants to meet the listing requirements for either the Capital or Global market tiers. It is expected that the warrants will be quoted over-the-counter (“OTC”) upon delisting from Nasdaq and, to that end, the Company has filed an application for trading of the warrants on the OTCQB, a marketplace for the trading of over-the-counter securities, which is operated by OTC Markets. The Company expects the warrants to begin trading OTC effective with the open of business on June 2, 2015.
