On February 9, 2016, following a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) regarding Lilis Energy, Inc.’s (the “Company”) request for continued listing on Nasdaq, the Company was notified that the Panel had determined to grant the Company’s request to transfer the listing of its common stock from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market tier, which took effect with the open of trading today, Thursday, February 11, 2016. The Company's common stock will continue to trade under the symbol "LLEX" following the transfer of its listing to The Nasdaq Capital Market tier.

The Company is diligently working to timely satisfy the terms of the Panel’s decision; however, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so.
