Loyalty Ventures (NASDAQ:LYLT) stock is taking off on Monday despite the company preparing to delist shares from the Nasdaq.

Loyalty Ventures announced last week that shares of LYLT stock would be delisted from the exchange. The company notes that this is a side effect of its ongoing bankruptcy process. It intends to file a Form 25 connected to this with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) today.

According to Loyalty Ventures, this delisting doesn’t mean that LYLT stock will disappear completely. The company notes that it’s possible shares could end up on the Pink Open Market operated by the OTC Markets Group. However, it’s not seeking listing on other national exchanges and this over-the-counter listing may not come to pass.

What’s Behind the LYLT Stock Movement Today?

It looks like the rise in price today for LYLT comes from traders pumping up shares prior to its Nasdaq delisting. That makes sense as investors sometimes see stocks go through extreme volatility alongside bankruptcy and delisting proceedings.

In the case of LYLT stock, some 3.4 million shares have changed hands as of this writing. That’s strong movement in pre-market trading compared to its daily average volume of about 6 million shares.

LYLT stock is up 32.6% as of Monday morning.
