Active Stocks Highlights: SandRidge Energy, Inc. (NYSE:SD), Groupon, Inc. (NASDAQ:GRPN), Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT)

On Monday, Shares of SandRidge Energy, Inc. (NYSE:SD), lost -0.19% to $0.52, hitting its lowest level.

On July 27, SandRidge Energy declared that it has fallen below the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) continued listing requirement that the average closing price of a listed company’s common stock be above $1.00 per share, calculated over a period of 30 successive trading days. The Company received notice from the NYSE on July 23, 2015 regarding the deficiency.

Under the NYSE standards, the Company can avoid delisting if, during the six-month period following receipt of the NYSE notice, on the last trading-day of any calendar month, the Company’s common stock has a closing price per share and a 30 trading-day average closing share price of at least $1.00. The Company intends to consider accessible alternatives, potentially counting a reverse stock split, in order to cure the stock price deficiency and return to compliance with the NYSE continued listing requirement. Under the NYSE’s rules, if the Company determines that it will cure the stock price deficiency by taking an action that will require approval by its shareholders at the next annual meeting of shareholders, such as a reverse stock split, the six month period described above will extend to shortly after such annual meeting.

During this period, the Company’s common stock will continue to be traded on the NYSE, subject to compliance with other continued listing requirements.
