Rhea-AI Filing Summary

BATTALION OIL CORP (BATL) reports that NYSE American has notified the company it is back in compliance with all continued listing standards under Part 10 of the NYSE American Company Guide. The exchange determined Battalion met the applicable standards for two consecutive quarters under Section 1009(f).

Previously, on May 30, 2025, NYSE American had cited noncompliance with Sections 1003(a)(i) and 1003(a)(ii) related to minimum stockholders’ equity. Battalion regained compliance ahead of its November 30, 2026 plan deadline, and the exchange will remove the company from its list of noncompliant issuers and stop disseminating the prior compliance indicator.

Positive

  • NYSE American confirmed Battalion Oil is in full compliance with its continued listing standards after two consecutive compliant quarters, leading to removal from the exchange’s noncompliant issuers list and elimination of the prior compliance indicator on the stock.

Negative

  • None.

Guide Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii), 1009(f) Provisions governing stockholders’ equity standards and two-quarter compliance test
continued listing standards regulatory
"it is back in compliance with all of the continued listing standards"
Ongoing rules a stock exchange requires a listed company to meet to keep its shares trading publicly, such as minimum share price, market value, timely financial reports, and governance practices. Think of it as a membership checklist for a club: falling short can lead to warnings or removal from the exchange, which can sharply reduce liquidity, investor confidence, and a stock’s value. Investors watch these standards to gauge regulatory risk and the stability of their holdings.
stockholders’ equity financial
"not in compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i) and 1003(a)(ii) ... which relate to minimum stockholders’ equity"
Stockholders’ equity is the portion of a company’s value that belongs to its owners after subtracting what the company owes from what it owns — like the equity in a house after paying the mortgage. For investors it shows the company’s net worth and can indicate financial strength, a cushion against losses, and the amount potentially available to support dividends or reinvestment; tracking changes helps assess whether the business is building or eroding owner value.
NYSE American Company Guide regulatory
"standards set forth in Part 10 of the NYSE American Company Guide"
A handbook of rules and requirements that govern companies listed on the NYSE American market, covering eligibility to list, ongoing disclosure duties, corporate governance expectations, and trading practices. It matters to investors because it sets the minimum standards companies must meet to join and remain on that exchange — like a routine safety inspection that signals basic reliability and transparency — helping investors judge regulatory compliance, quality of public information, and potential risks to a stock’s value.
plan of compliance regulatory
"deadline under the Company’s previously disclosed plan of compliance"
A plan of compliance is a formal roadmap a company creates to fix regulatory or legal problems, listing the steps, timelines and responsible parties needed to meet official rules. Investors care because it indicates how quickly and effectively a company can stop penalties, restore trust and return to normal operations—much like a repair plan for a house that shows when rooms will be fixed and how much it will cost.
noncompliant issuers regulatory
"remove the Company from the Exchange's list of noncompliant issuers"
Noncompliant issuers are companies or other entities that have failed to meet legal, regulatory, or stock-exchange rules for reporting, disclosure, or corporate conduct. For investors, this matters because lapses can trigger fines, trading suspensions, or delisting, reduce transparency and liquidity, and increase price risk—similar to a landlord evicting a tenant who breaks lease terms, which raises uncertainty and potential losses for those involved.

Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On September 16, 2026, Battalion Oil Corporation (the “Company”) received a letter from NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American” or the “Exchange”) notifying the Company that it is back in compliance with all of the continued listing standards set forth in Part 10 of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”).

As previously disclosed, on May 30, 2025, the Company had received notice from NYSE American that it was not in compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i) and 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide, which relate to minimum stockholders’ equity. NYSE American has determined that the Company demonstrated compliance with the applicable continued listing standards for two consecutive quarters pursuant to Section 1009(f) of the Company Guide and that the previously reported deficiency has been resolved. The Company therefore regained compliance in advance of the November 30, 2026 deadline under the Company’s previously disclosed plan of compliance.

NYSE American advised the Company that it has returned the Company to its normal continued listing monitoring procedures and will remove the Company from the Exchange's list of noncompliant issuers. In addition, the Exchange indicated that the compliance indicator previously associated with the Company's common stock will no longer be disseminated.
