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 November 30, 2015, from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) of being below the NYSE’s continued listing standard.  The Company is considered below criteria established by the NYSE because the Company’s average market capitalization fell below $50 million over a trailing consecutive 30 trading-day period and its last reported stockholders’ equity was less than $50 million.

In accordance with NYSE procedures, the Company has 45 days from the receipt of the notice to submit a business plan to the NYSE demonstrating how it intends to regain compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards within eighteen months.  Resolute intends to develop and submit such a business plan within the required time frame and will continue to work with the NYSE to attempt to comply with all continued listing standards.

Assuming that the NYSE accepts the plan, the Company will be subject to quarterly monitoring for compliance with the business plan and the Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE during the eighteen month period, subject to the Company’s compliance with other NYSE continued listing requirements.  The NYSE may choose to shorten the usual compliance period if prior to the end of the eighteen months the Company’s market capitalization is over $50 million for two consecutive quarters.

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.

On December 4, 2015, Resolute issued a press release announcing the NYSE continued listing notification described above. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
