Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On August 19, 2025, Battalion Oil Corporation (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Acceptance Letter”) from NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) notifying the Company that its plan of compliance (the “Plan”) has been accepted. The Plan outlines actions the Company intends to take to regain compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE American.
As previously disclosed, the Company received a notice from NYSE American on May 30, 2025, stating that it was not in compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i) and 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”). Section 1003(a)(i) requires a listed company to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2 million if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years. Section 1003(a)(ii) requires stockholders’ equity of at least $4 million if the company has reported such losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years.
The Acceptance Letter grants the Company a compliance period through November 30, 2026 (the “Compliance Deadline”), during which NYSE American staff will monitor the Company’s progress under the Plan. If the Company fails to make progress consistent with the Plan, NYSE American may initiate delisting procedures, regardless of the Company’s listing status at that time.
The Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), will continue to be listed on the NYSE American under the symbol “BATL,” pursuant to an exception, and subject to continued compliance with other applicable listing requirements.
The Company’s current noncompliance does not affect its ongoing business operations or its reporting obligations with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company is actively evaluating all available options to regain compliance. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to make sufficient progress under the Plan, that NYSE American will find such progress satisfactory, or that the Company will regain compliance by the end of the Compliance Deadline. Additionally, future developments may adversely impact the Company’s ability to meet the continued listing standards of the Company Guide or comply with other NYSE American requirements.
