Item 3.01.

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard.

On August 31, 2020, Amplify Energy Corp. (the “Company”), received written notification (the “Notice”) from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that the Company no longer satisfies the continued listing compliance standards set forth under Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the “Manual”) because the average global market capitalization of the Company was less than $50,000,000 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period that ended on August 28, 2020 and, at the same time, the Company’s stockholders’ equity was less than $50,000,000.

In accordance with Section 802.02 of the Manual, the Company has ten business days from receipt of the Notice to confirm to the NYSE receipt of the Notice and the Company’s intent to cure the deficiencies. Under NYSE procedures, the Company has 45 days from its receipt of the Notice to submit a plan to the NYSE demonstrating how it intends to regain compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards within 18 months. The Company intends to develop and submit a plan to bring it into compliance with the listing standards within the required timeframe.

Under NYSE rules, the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), will continue to be listed on the NYSE during this 18-month cure period, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing requirements. The Common Stock’s trading symbol “AMPY” will be assigned a “.BC” indicator by the NYSE to signify that the Company currently is not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements. If the Company fails to regain compliance with Section 802.01B of the Manual during the cure period, the Common Stock will be subject to the NYSE’s suspension and delisting procedures.

 

Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On September 4, 2020, the Company issued a press release with respect to the receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The information furnished in this Item 7.01 (including the exhibit) shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
