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

 

On May 26, 2016, Halcón Resources Corporation (the “Company”) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that 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 under Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. As of May 24, 2016, the 30 trading-day average closing price of the Company’s common stock was $0.98 per share.

 

The Company has notified the NYSE that it intends to cure the deficiency and to return to compliance with the NYSE continued listing requirement. The Company has six months following receipt of the notification 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, under the symbol “HK.”
