Insights

Public equity and disclosure analyst

Star Operating ends SEC reporting for its common and preferred shares after a Nasdaq delisting.

Star Operating Companies, Inc. is using Form 15-12G to terminate Exchange Act registration for its common stock and Series A cumulative perpetual preferred stock. This action suspends the company’s obligation to file ongoing reports such as annual and quarterly statements for these securities.

The filing notes that on August 22, 2025 the common and preferred shares were delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market and then deregistered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. Today’s step addresses the separate registration and reporting requirements under Sections 12(g), 13, and 15(d), aligning the company’s SEC obligations with its post-delisting status.

For investors in the common and preferred shares, reduced SEC reporting can mean less standardized public information and may be associated with trading moving to less liquid venues. The certification is signed by Chief Executive Officer Richard K. Coleman, Jr. on September 3, 2025, indicating board-level awareness and authorization of this change in reporting status.
