State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

On September 12, 2016, Penn Virginia Corporation (the “Company”) emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In connection with its emergence from bankruptcy, the Company has adopted fresh-start accounting as required by GAAP. This accounting change will be reflected beginning in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The Company’s management requires additional time to complete the financial statements applying fresh-start accounting.

Steven A. Hartman	(713)	722-6500
(Name)	(Area Code)	(Telephone Number)

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).    ☒  Yes    ☐  No

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?    ☒  Yes    ☐  No

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

As discussed in Part III, the Company has adopted and applied the relevant guidance with respect to the accounting and financial reporting for entities that have emerged from bankruptcy proceedings, or fresh-start accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s results of operations after September 12, 2016, are not comparable to its results of operations prior to that date.
