Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On December 23, 2015, Atlas Energy Group, LLC (“Atlas”) received written notice (the “Notice”) from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that Atlas is not in compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because its average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period was less than $50 million, and because its stockholders’ equity was below $50 million.
In accordance with applicable NYSE procedures, Atlas plans to notify the NYSE by January 8, 2016 of its intention to submit a plan addressing how it intends to regain compliance with the continued listing standards within 18 months from the date of the Notice.
The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of Atlas’ common units, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE, subject to its continued compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards.
