ITEM 3.01  NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING.

 

On September 6, 2005, MarkWest Hydrocarbon Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) advising that AMEX had accepted the Company’s updated Plan of Action to bring it back into compliance with the Exchange’s listing requirements by October 15, 2005.  The Company is currently not in compliance with the AMEX requirements as set forth in Sections 134, 1101 and 1003(d) of the Amex Company Guide for failure to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2004 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 by the prescribed filing deadline.

 

The Company is devoting substantial resources and working with its outside auditors to complete and file the Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as soon as reasonably possible and to restore its compliance with the AMEX requirements.

 

Additionally, the Company announced that it has received an extension of the waiver of the covenant contained in its Credit Agreement requiring that the Company deliver its audited financial statements to the Lenders by March 31, 2005.  The Company had previously been granted a waiver of the covenant through August 31, 2005.  The previously granted waiver has now been extended to September 30, 2005.
