Phoenix Footwear Group, Inc. announced that as part of its restructuring and cost reduction strategy it has submitted a written notice to the NYSE AMEX (“AMEX”) of its intention to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in order to voluntarily delist its common stock from AMEX and deregister its common stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

The board of directors of the Company approved the voluntary delisting of the company's common stock on Oct. 5, 2010. The company intends to file the Form 25 “Notification of Removal from Listing” on or after Feb. 28, 2011. The company anticipates that the delisting will be effective 10 days after filing the Form 25, “Notification of Removal from Listing.” Upon delisting from AMEX, the company intends to have its common stock quoted on the Pink OTC Markets.

On Jan. 31, 2011, also as part of its restructuring and cost reduction strategy, the company effected a 1-for-200 reverse stock split, immediately followed by a 200-for-1 forward stock split.  These changes had the effect of reducing the number of the company's stockholders of record below 300.  As a result, following its delisting from AMEX the company also intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC.

Upon filing of the Form 15, the Company's obligation to file certain reports, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K, with the SEC will be suspended. The company expects that the deregistration of its common stock will become effective 90 days after filing of the Form 15 with the SEC.
 
Although the company will no longer file reports with the SEC or be subject to AMEX rules for the foreseeable future once the delisting and deregistration of the Common Stock is effective, it intends to continue making information available to stockholders and to observe corporate governance practice as may be required to maintain quotations on the Pink OTC Markets.
