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

 

On June 21, 2018, Eco-Stim Energy Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of the Company’s common stock has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The notification of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “ESES.”

 

The Company has 180 days, or until December 18, 2018, to achieve compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the minimum bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-day grace period. The Company’s failure to regain compliance during this period could result in delisting.

 

On May 31, 2018, the Company filed its definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), which was held on June 20, 2018. At the Annual Meeting, the Company submitted for stockholder approval a proposal for the approval of a one-for-four reverse stock split of all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, to be effected at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. The reverse stock split proposal was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, the Company’s board of directors may determine to effect the reverse stock split in the future in order for the Company to seek to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Any such determination to effect the reverse stock split, and the timing thereof, would be made at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors.
