Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On October 13, 2014, Endeavour International Corporation (“Endeavour”) (NYSE: END) (LSE: ENDV) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that the staff of NYSE Regulation, Inc. (“NYSE Regulation”) has determined to commence proceedings to delist the common stock of Endeavour from the NYSE. Trading of Endeavour’s common stock was suspended immediately.
NYSE Regulation has determined that Endeavour is no longer suitable for listing. Pursuant to the NYSE Listed Company Manual (“LCM”) Section 802.01D, this decision was reached in view of Endeavour’s October 10, 2014 announcement that it and certain of its subsidiaries have each filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. It is expected that all of Endeavour’s existing equity securities, including its shares of common stock, preferred stock and warrants, will be cancelled, without receiving any distribution.
In addition, Endeavour had previously fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard in Section 802.01B of the LCM which requires the Company to maintain either (i) an average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period of not less than $50,000,000 or (ii) stockholders’ equity of not less than $50,000,000. Furthermore, Endeavour is also below the NYSE’s continued listing standard in Section 802.01C of the LCM requiring listed companies to maintain an average closing price per share of not less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period.
Endeavour has a right to a review of this determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation. The NYSE will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the common stock upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by Endeavour of the NYSE Regulation staff’s decision.
