History edit

On February 17, 2015, the company received a deficiency letter from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The reasons for deficiency included failure to file a quarterly report in a timely manner. The company has been actively trying to prevent their stock from being delisted. IEC had until May 11, 2015, to submit a plan to the NYSE.
