Item 2.02:  Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

On October 29, 2008, Alliance Imaging, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2008. A copy of the Company’s press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

 

The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the information in Exhibit 99.1 hereto, is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose, including for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the information in Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

 

Item 3.01:  Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

 

The Commentary to Section 303A.03 of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) Listed Company Manual requires each listed company to disclose in its proxy statement either the name of the director chosen to preside at executive sessions of non-management directors or, if the same individual is not the presiding director at all executive sessions, the procedure by which a presiding director is selected for each executive session.

 

On October 28, 2008, the NYSE notified us that the required information regarding the presiding director was not included in our definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2008. The NYSE advised us of alternative methods for curing this non-compliance, including the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K with the required disclosure.

 

The non-management directors meet regularly in executive session without the presence of our management. The position of presiding director of these executive sessions is selected by a majority of the non-management directors present.
