Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On January 12, 2016, Penn Virginia Corporation (the “Company”) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that due to “abnormally low” trading price levels, pursuant to Section 802.01D of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, the NYSE has determined to commence proceedings to delist its common stock. Trading in the Company’s common stock was suspended after market hours on January 12, 2016.

The Company has a right to a review of this determination. The NYSE will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the common stock upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the decision. The Company does not intend to appeal the determination and, therefore, it is expected the Company’s common stock will be delisted.

Effective January 13, the common stock of the Company commenced trading on the OTC Pink marketplace under the symbol “PVAH.” The Company can provide no assurance that its common stock will continue to trade on this market, whether broker-dealers will continue to provide public quotes of the Company’s common stock on this market, whether the trading volume of the Company’s common stock will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market or whether quotes for the Company’s common stock may be blocked by OTC Markets Group in the future.

 

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On January 12, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing the NYSE’s suspension of trading and commencement of delisting procedures, as described in Item 3.01. A copy of this press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information contained in this Item 7.01 and the press release are being furnished under Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information and exhibit be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
