STONE ENERGY CORPORATION (NYSE:SGY) Files An 8-K Other Events

Item 8.01. Other Events.

The information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K affects
only disclosures related to going concern uncertainty, and does not
in any way restate or revise the consolidated balance sheets as of
December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements
of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and changes
in stockholders’ equity for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2016 (the “2016 Financial Statements”) of
Stone Energy Corporation (the “Company”) contained in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2016 (the “2016 Form 10-K”) filed on February 23, 2017.
Neither this Form 8-K nor the Exhibit hereto reflect any events
occurring after February 23, 2017, other than the events
surrounding the alleviation of the going concern uncertainty, or
modify or update the disclosures in the 2016 Form 10-K that may be
affected by subsequent events. Accordingly, this Form 8-K should be
read in conjunction with the 2016 Form 10-K and the Companys
filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent
to the filing of the 2016 Form 10-K, including any amendments to
such filings.
Based upon the facts and circumstances that existed as of February
23, 2017, the Company had previously disclosed in the 2016 Form
10-K that there was substantial doubt about the ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern. Similarly, the report of
the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst
Young LLP, relating to the Company’s 2016 Financial Statements,
contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. On February 28, 2017, the Second
Amended Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization (the Plan) became
effective and the Company emerged from bankruptcy. As a result of
the execution of the Plan and the Companys emergence from
bankruptcy, there is no longer substantial doubt about the Companys
ability to continue as a going concern.
Accordingly, we are filing this Form 8-K to update our 2016
Financial Statements to reflect the alleviation of the going
concern uncertainty as described above. The updated financial
statements are consistent with the 2016 Financial Statements
contained within the Companys 2016 Form 10-K, except that (i) the
report of Ernst Young LLP accompanying the 2016 Financial
Statements has been updated to include an emphasis paragraph
disclosing that the conditions that raised substantial doubt about
whether the Company will continue as a going concern no longer
exist and (ii) Note 3 to the 2016 Financial Statements has been
updated to reflect the alleviation of the going concern
uncertainty. The updated financial statements do not represent a
restatement of previously issued financial statements.
