Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On February 3, 2015, Resolute Energy Corporation (the Company) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) that the price of the Companys common stock has fallen below the NYSEs continued listing standard, which requires that the average closing price of a listed companys common stock be above $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. As of January 29, 2015, the 30 trading-day average closing price of the Companys common stock was $0.97 per share.
As required by the NYSE, the Company will timely notify the NYSE that it intends to cure the deficiency and to return to compliance with the NYSE continued listing requirement. The Company can avoid delisting if, during the six month period following receipt of the NYSE notice, on the last trading day of any calendar month, the Companys common stock has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month.
Under the NYSE rules, the Companys common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE during this period, subject to the Companys compliance with other continued listing requirements. The NYSE notification does not affect the Companys business operations or its SEC reporting requirements and does not conflict with or cause an event of default under any of the Companys material debt or other agreements.
As required under the NYSE rules, the Company issued a press release on February 9, 2015, announcing that it had received the notice of noncompliance with the NYSE continued listing standard. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
