Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On November 11, 2019, Chaparral Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements, as the average closing price of the Company’s shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “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, the Company has six months following receipt of the notification to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement.
As required by the NYSE, the Company is notifying the NYSE of its intent to cure the deficiency and return to compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements. The Company can regain compliance at any time during thesix-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 30trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month. Under NYSE’s rules, the Common Stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE during thissix-month cure period, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing requirements. The Common Stock symbol “CHAP” will be assigned a “.BC” indicator by the NYSE to signify that the Company currently is not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements. If the Company fails to regain compliance with Section 802.01C during the cure period, the Common Stock will be subject to the NYSE’s suspension and delisting procedures.
The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price of its Common Stock and will consider all available options to regain compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements.
