Resolute Energy Corporation (“Resolute” or the “Company”) (NYSE: REN) today announced that it has engaged Petrie Partners, LLC to market for sale its Hilight Field property in the Powder River Basin. The marketing of Hilight Field is consistent with previous announcements made by the Company that it would pursue additional non-core asset sales to reduce leverage and enhance liquidity. An updated investor presentation containing additional information on Hilight Field will be posted on the Company’s website at resoluteenergy.com as information is provided to potential interested parties.
The Company also announced that it received a letter dated June 1, 2015, from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) informing Resolute that it has regained compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards.
The NYSE requires that the average closing price of a listed company’s common stock be above $1.00 per share over 30 consecutive trading-days. The Company was previously notified by letter dated February 3, 2015, that it had fallen out of compliance and was given until August 3, 2015, to regain compliance. The Company was permitted to come back into compliance by demonstrating a $1.00 share price on both the last trading-day of any calendar month and the average share price over the 30 trading days preceding the end of that month. As of May 29, 2015, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE was $1.18 and the 30 trading-day average closing price was $1.395 per share. Accordingly, the Company is now in compliance with the $1.00 continued listing criterion.
