Elme Communities to be delisted from NYSE and move to OTC trading before liquidation
Elme Communities announced that the NYSE will delist and suspend trading of its common shares because of an abnormally low price. The company will not appeal and expects OTC trading to begin on October 26, 2026 under the symbol “ELMES”. It plans to dissolve on November 6, 2026, transferring assets to a Maryland liquidating trust and cancelling all outstanding shares.
Why it matters
The delisting removes the shares from a major exchange, limiting liquidity and increasing trading restrictions for investors. After October 26, shareholders will hold non‑transferable beneficial interests in the liquidating trust rather than tradable common shares.
