Item 3.01.   Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
     Under the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) continued listing requirements, as they apply to SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc. (“SunCom”), SunCom would be considered “below criteria” if its average market capitalization were to fall below $100 million over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. On September 27, 2006, SunCom received official notice from the NYSE that SunCom had fallen “below criteria” under the continued listing requirements, because its average market capitalization was less than $100 million over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. Based on the aggregate 71,243,870 shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2006 and the reported closing price of SunCom’s Class A common stock on the NYSE on September 27, 2006 of $0.98, SunCom had an average 30-day market capitalization of approximately $92.9 million as of that date.
     Under the applicable NYSE compliance procedures, SunCom has 45 days from the date of its receipt of the notice to submit a plan to the NYSE to demonstrate its ability to achieve compliance with the continued listing standards within 18 months. SunCom currently intends to submit such a plan. The NYSE has advised SunCom that, beginning on October 4, 2006, the NYSE will make available on its consolidated tape an indicator, “.BC,” to reflect that SunCom is below the NYSE’s quantitative continued listing standards. In order to achieve compliance with the continued listing standards, SunCom would have to demonstrate a market capitalization of at least $100 million at the end of the 18-month compliance period. If SunCom fails to submit a compliance plan, if the NYSE does not accept SunCom’s plan, or if SunCom is unable to achieve compliance with the continued listing standards, SunCom would be delisted from the NYSE. In such event, SunCom may seek to transfer listing of its Class A common stock to another exchange.
