Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On January 31, 2011, Delta Petroleum Corporation issued a press release announcing that The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) has approved Delta’s application to transfer its stock listing from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market. The transfer was effective at the opening of the market on February 1, 2011. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Delta previously reported in its current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 10, 2010, that on August 9, 2010, Delta received a notification from Nasdaq stating that the minimum bid price of Delta’s common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days and that Delta therefore was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”). In response to such notice, Delta filed an application to transfer the listing of its common stock from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market.
In connection with the transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market, and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), it is anticipated that Delta will be granted an additional grace period by Nasdaq until approximately August 6, 2011 to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, which would occur if Delta’s common stock closed at or above $1.00 for 10 consecutive trading days. If compliance is not regained within the additional grace period, Nasdaq will notify Delta of its determination to delist Delta’s common stock, which decision may be appealed to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel.
