Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On August 24, 2016, Bonanza Creek Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice (the “Notice”) from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE continued listing standard set forth in Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the average closing price of its common stock had fallen below $1.00 per share over a period of 30 consecutive trading days, which is the minimum average share price required by the NYSE. As of August 22, 2016, the 30 trading day average closing price of the Company’s common stock was $0.98 per share.
In accordance with the applicable NYSE procedures, the Company plans to notify the NYSE by September 8, 2016 of its intention to cure this noncompliance. The Company has six months following receipt of the Notice to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. The Company can regain compliance at any time during the six-month cure period if its common stock has a closing share price of at least $1.00 on the last trading day of any calendar month during the period and also has an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading day period ending on the last trading day of that month or on the last day of the cure period.
The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during this period, subject to the Company’s compliance with other listing standards. The Company’s common stock symbol “BCEI” will be assigned a “.BC” indicator by the NYSE to signify that the Company is not currently in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements. If the Company fails to regain compliance with Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual during the cure period, the Company’s common stock will be subject to the NYSE’s suspension and delisting procedures.
