Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

Resolute Energy Corporation (“Resolute” or the “Company”) announced that it had received notification on July 23, 2015, from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that the price of Resolute’s common stock has fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard.  The NYSE requires that the average closing price of a listed company’s common stock be above $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading-day period.  As of July 20, 2015, the 30 trading-day average closing price of the Company’s common stock was $0.99 per share.

Under NYSE rules, the Company can avoid delisting if, during the six month period following receipt of the NYSE notice, Resolute’s common stock price per share and 30 trading-day average share price rises above $1.00.  During this period, the Company’s common stock will continue to be traded on the NYSE, subject to compliance with other continued listing requirements.  As required by the NYSE, in order to maintain its listing, the Company notified the NYSE on July 28, 2015 that it intends to cure the price deficiency before January 23, 2016.  The NYSE notification does not affect the Company’s business operations or its SEC reporting requirements and does not conflict with or cause an event of default under any of the Company’s material debt or other agreements. 

At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on June 8, 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved a resolution authorizing the Board of Directors to implement a reverse stock split of its common stock at any time prior to December 31, 2015, at one of seven reverse split ratios: 1-for-2, 1-for-5, 1-for-10, 1-for-15, 1-for-20, 1-for-25 or 1-for-30, as determined by Resolute’s Board in its sole discretion.  If it becomes necessary to do so in order to maintain compliance with the NYSE listing standards, the Company’s Board will implement a reverse stock split prior to the end of the NYSE cure period, and may do so in advance of such date.

On July 28, 2015, Resolute issued a press release announcing, among other things, the NYSE continued listing notification described above. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
