On August 14, 2019, Pioneer Energy Services Corp. (the “Company”) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that its common stock has been suspended from trading due to its “abnormally low” trading price levels. to Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the NYSE has determined to commence proceedings to delist Pioneer’s common stock.>

The Company has a right to a review of this determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of the the NYSE. The NYSE will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Company’s common stock upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the decision. The Company does not intend to appeal the NYSE’s determination to delist the Company’s common stock and, therefore, it is expected that the Company’s common stock will be delisted from the NYSE.

The Company anticipates that effective August 15, 2019, its common stock will commence trading on OTCQX® under the trading symbol “PESX”. The transition to the over-the-counter market will not affect Pioneer’s business operations. The OTCQX is operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. Investors can find quotes for the Company’s common stock on www.otcmarkets.com.>

The OTCQX is a significantly more limited market than the NYSE, and quotation on the OTCQX may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade the common stock and could further depress the trading price of the common stock. The Company can provide no assurance that its common stock will continue to trade on this market, whether broker-dealers will continue to provide public quotes of the Company’s common stock on this market, whether the trading volume of the Company’s common stock will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market or whether quotes for the Company’s common stock may be blocked by OTC Markets Group in the future.

The Company expects to continue to make all required SEC filings and remain subject to SEC rules and regulations applicable to reporting companies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.>
