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

 

On December 26, 2018, Cloud Peak Energy Inc. (“CPE”) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that CPE was not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements, as the average closing price of its shares of common stock had fallen below $1.00 per share over a period of 30 consecutive trading days, which is the minimum average share price for continued listing on the NYSE under Rule 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.  Under the NYSE’s rules, CPE has six months following receipt of the notification to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement.

 

As required by the NYSE, CPE will notify the NYSE within ten business days of its intent to cure the deficiency and return to compliance with the NYSE continued listing requirements.    CPE can regain compliance at any time during the six month cure period if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period, its common stock has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and 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.  If CPE does not notify the NYSE that it intends to cure the deficiency as described above, then the NYSE could commence delisting procedures.  Under NYSE rules, CPE’s common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE during this six month period, subject to compliance with other continued listing requirements.  CPE’s common stock symbol “CLD” will be assigned a “.BC” indicator by the NYSE to signify that it currently is not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements.  If CPE fails to regain compliance with Section 802.01C during the cure period, its common stock will be subject to the NYSE’s suspension and delisting procedures.

 

Item 7.01                   Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On December 27, 2018, CPE issued a press release with respect to the receipt of the notice of non-compliance from the NYSE.  The full text of the press release is furnished with this Report as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

The information contained in this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1) is furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, notwithstanding any general incorporation by reference language in other CPE filings.
