Section 3 - Securities and Trading Markets
| Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard. |
On April 9, 2009, Aurora Oil & Gas Corporation (“Company”) was notified by the NYSE Amex LLC (“Exchange”) that it had fallen below the Exchange continued listing standard related to the Company’s financial resources and financial condition. In the opinion of the Exchange, the Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Exchange Guide in that the Company’s financial condition has become so impaired that it appears questionable as to whether the Company will be able to continue operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature.
As required under the listing standards, the Company has the option to submit a plan by May 11, 2009 to the Exchange that summarizes the action it can take to achieve compliance with the continued listing standard. With great deliberation and in light of the costs the Company would incur to maintain continued listing with the Exchange, the Board of Directors has concluded that the Company will voluntarily delist from the Exchange and transfer its listing to the OTC Bulletin Board.
