NOTIFICATION OF THE REMOVAL FROM LISTING AND REGISTRATION OF THE STATED SECURITIES
The New York Stock Exchange ('NYSE' or the 'Exchange') hereby notifies the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'Commission') of its intention to remove the Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock") of Party City Holdco Inc. (the "Company") from listing and registration on the Exchange at the opening of business on February 14, 2023, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 12d2-2(b) because, in the opinion of the Exchange, the Company's Common Stock is no longer suitable for continued listing and trading on the Exchange.
The Exchange reached its decision pursuant to Section 802.01D of the Listed Company Manual (the 'Manual') after the Company's January 17, 2023 disclosure that the Company voluntarily filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. In reaching its delisting determination, NYSE Regulation noted the uncertainty as to the ultimate effect of this process on the value of the Company's Common Stock. NYSE Regulation also noted that the Company's restructuring support agreement contemplates that the holders of the existing Common Stock of the Company will receive no recovery or distribution.
On January 18, 2023, the Exchange determined that the Common Stock of the Company should be suspended from trading and directed the preparation and filing with the Commission of this application for the removal of the Common Stock from listing and registration on the NYSE. The Company was notified by phone and letter on January 18, 2023.
The Company had a right to appeal to a Committee of the Board of Directors of the Exchange (the 'Committee') the determination to delist the Common Stock, provided it filed a written request for such a review with the Secretary of the Exchange within ten business days of receiving notice of the delisting determination. The Company did not file such request within the specified period. Consequently, all conditions precedent under SEC Rule 12d2-2(b) to the filing of this application have been satisfied.
