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

 

On August 12, 2016, Halcón Resources Corporation (the “Company”) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that its average market capitalization and stockholders’ equity was less than $50 million over a 30 trading-day period, which are the minimum values required for continued listing by the NYSE under Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.  The Company has 45 days from receipt of the notice to submit a plan to regain compliance.  The Company expects to notify the NYSE within such time period that it intends to cure the deficiency and satisfy the minimum values required for continued listing upon consummation of its current restructuring plan.  If the NYSE approves the Company’s plan, the Company’s shares will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the 18 month cure period, subject to its compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards.

 

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, under the symbol “HK.”
