Item 5. Other Events.
On May 2, 2002, Standard Automotive Corporation ("the Company") announced that
it had received notice from the staff (the "Staff") of the American Stock
Exchange (the "Exchange"), indicating that the Company is no longer in
compliance with the Exchange's continued listing guidelines, and that its
securities are, therefore, being delisted from the Exchange.
According to the notice, the Staff's determination is based, among other things,
on the Company's commencement of Chapter 11 proceedings on March 19, 2002, as
well as on the aggregate market value of the Company's publicly held shares
having fallen below $1,000,000.
The Company noted that it does not intend to appeal the determination by the
Exchange and, therefore, expects its securities to be delisted on or about May
13, 2002.
