GeoPetro Resources Company to Prepare Financial Plan for NYSE MKT
San Francisco, CA — (Globe Newswire) – July 5, 2012 – GeoPetro Resources Company (NYSE AMEX: GPR) (the “Company”) announced today that on June 28, 2012, the Company was notified by NYSE MKT LLC (the “Exchange”) that its review of the Company’s publicly-available information indicated that the Company was not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Exchange’s Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) in that the Exchange believes that the Company has sustained losses which are so substantial in relation to its overall operations or its existing financial resources, or its financial condition has become so impaired that it appears questionable, in the opinion of the Exchange, as to whether it will be able to continue operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature.
In order to maintain listing of its common stock on the Exchange, the Company must submit a plan by July 30, 2012, addressing how the Company intends to regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(iv) by September 28, 2012. The Company intends to submit such a plan by July 30, 2012. If the Exchange accepts the plan, then the Company may be able to continue its listing during the plan period, up to September 28, 2012, during which time the Company will be subject to periodic reviews to determine whether it is making progress consistent with the plan.
The Company will provide the Exchange with a plan by July 30, 2012 which the Company believes will satisfactorily demonstrate that it will be able to return to compliance with certain of the Exchange’s continued listing standards.
