Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On February 19, 2015, Lilis Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) received a Delisting Determination Letter (the “Determination Letter”) from the staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) due to the Company’s failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014 (the “10-Q”) within the 180-day cure period previously granted by Nasdaq, which expired on February 17, 2015.
The Determination Letter was issued in accordance with standard Nasdaq procedures as a result of the Company’s failure to re-gain compliance, by February 17, 2015, with Nasdaq Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires timely filing of periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Determination Letter indicates that, unless the Company requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel by February 26, 2015, the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market as of March 2, 2015 as a result of the Company’s non-compliance with Rule 5250(c)(1).
The Company filed the 10-Q on February 25, 2015. The Company believes this will bring the Company into compliance with Rule 5250(c)(1) and alleviate the need to submit a request for a hearing.
On February 25, 2015, the Company issued a press release disclosing the receipt of the Determination Letter, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the Company’s expectations and beliefs are forward-looking, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties and actual future events and determinations may differ materially from those presented, either expressed or implied, in this Form 8-K. Factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is available on the Company’s website (www.lilisenergy.com) and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov).
