Item 8.01                      Other events

In response to a notice from NASDAQ dated April 7, 2015, that Royale Energy is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of the NASDAQ Capital Market listing standards, the company has filed with NASDAQ a plan to increase stockholders equity.  On May 20, 2015, a registration statement on Form S-3, filed by Royale Energy to sell common stock sufficient to raise net stockholder’s equity to a level above $2.5 million, became effective with the SEC.

On June 4, 2015, NASDAQ granted Royale Energy an extension through October 5, 2015, to file financial statements demonstrating compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement. The fulfillment of this plan will allow Royale Energy’s stock to continue trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market.
