Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On September 14, 2015, Vantage Drilling Company (the “Company”) received a letter from NYSE MKT LLC (the “NYSE MKT”) stating that the staff of NYSE Regulation, Inc. (“NYSE Regulation”) has determined to suspend trading immediately and commenced proceedings to delist the ordinary shares of the Company from the NYSE MKT. The decision was reached by the NYSE MKT under Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide, due to the “abnormally low” trading price of the Company’s ordinary shares.
The letter further indicates that the Company has a right to a review of this determination by a NYSE MKT Listing Qualifications Panel. The NYSE MKT will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the ordinary shares of the Company upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the NYSE Regulation staff’s decision.
The Company will consider all of its options, including its option to appeal, in responding to this delisting notice. In the meantime, the Company’s ordinary shares will trade on the over the counter markets under the trading symbol VTGDF.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On September 15, 2015, the Company issued a press release responding to the proposed delisting of the Company’s ordinary shares from the NYSE MKT. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
