WHEELING, W.Va.—After missing two deadlines, steel distributor Esmark Incorporated has scheduled a Wednesday conference call about its fourth-quarter results.
Esmark has failed to file an annual report for 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
That delay led the Nasdaq Stock Market to declare Esmark out of compliance with trading rules.
Nasdaq planned to suspend trading of Esmark shares Monday, but Esmark temporarily halted that process by requesting an appeal.
Esmark says it could not file a timely report because of the complexity of its buyout last year of Wheeling-Pittsburgh Corporation, the parent of Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel.
