Item 3.01.      Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
    
    On March 16, 2012, Quicksilver Resources Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) notifying the Company that because it had not timely filed its Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “Annual Report”) pursuant to Section 203.01 of the Exchange’s Listed Company Manual, and as a result, is subject to the procedures under Section 802.01E.  On March 16, 2012, the Company notified the Exchange that it expects to file its Annual Report and issue its financial statements by the week of April 16, 2012.  The Company’s shares remain listed on the Exchange.  A copy of the letter from the Exchange is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
 
    This Form 8-K includes some “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements include, among other things, our statement that the Company expects to file its Annual Report by the week of April 16, 2012.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to file its Annual Report within the time required by the Exchange rule and discretionary extensions, if any.  If the Company cannot timely file within the time required by the Exchange, then the Company’s common stock may become delisted from the Exchange which, among other things, would adversely affect the ability to trade such shares freely, restrict liquidity in the market for such shares and have a material adverse affect on our stock price.  Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of uncertainties and risks, and actual results may differ materially from those projected.  Factors that could affect the Company’s actual results include unanticipated delays in the conclusion of the Company’s 2011 integrated audit and the effects of other various risk factors and uncertainties disclosed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, especially on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K.  Such forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this Form 8-K, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect subsequent events or circumstances except to the extent required by applicable law.
