New York Stock Exchange Listing
Azure submitted written notice to NASDAQ Global Market ("NASDAQ") to voluntarily delist its common units, and applied to list its common units on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Management determined that the listing of Azure's common units on the NYSE is in the best interest of unitholders and the NYSE is better aligned with Azure's growth strategy, corporate identity and corporate governance structure. Azure intends to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to effect the proposed delisting from NASDAQ. The delisting from NASDAQ is expected to become effective following the close of business on May 28, 2015, and Azure's common units are expected to commence trading on the NYSE at market open on May 29, 2015 under the ticker "AZUR." Until the transfer is complete, Azure's common units will continue to trade on NASDAQ under the ticker "FISH."
