EP ENERGY CORPORATION (NYSE:EPE) Files An 8-K Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
Item 7.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Ruleor Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On January3, 2019, EP Energy Corporation (the “Company”) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Section802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, which requires the average closing price of the Company’s class A common stock over a prior 30 consecutive trading day period to be at least $1.00 per share.
In accordance with applicable NYSE procedures, the Company intends to notify the NYSE within ten business days of receipt of the notification of its intent to cure the deficiency and restore its compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards. The Company has a period of six months following the receipt of notice to regain compliance. The Company can regain compliance at any time during the six-month cure period if its common stock has a closing share price of at least $1.00 on the last trading day of any calendar month during the period and also has 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.
The Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during this six-month cure period, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing requirements set forth in the NYSE Listed Company Manual. The Company’s common stock symbol “EPE” will be assigned a “.BC” indicator by the NYSE to signify that the Company is not currently in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements. If the Company fails to regain compliance with Section802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual by the end of the cure period, the Company’s common stock will be subject to the NYSE’s suspension and delisting procedures.
If the Company’s common stock ultimately were to be delisted for any reason, it could negatively impact the Company as it would likely reduce the liquidity and market price of the common stock; reduce the number of investors willing to hold or acquire the common stock; and negatively impact the Company’s ability to access equity markets and obtain financing.
The NYSE notification does not affect EP Energy’s business operations or its Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements and does not result in a default under any of the Company’s material debt agreements.
