DALLAS, Texas, Feb. 27, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Southcross Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: SXE) (“Southcross Energy” or “the Partnership”) today announced that it will move trading in the Partnership’s Common Units (the “Common Units”). The Common Units will shift to the OTCQX® from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) effective at the market close of trading on the NYSE on February 27, 2019. On February 28, 2019, the Common Units will begin trading on the OTCQX® at the market open.
On February 27, 2019, the Partnership received notification from the NYSE that the Partnership was not in compliance with Rule 802.01C of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, as the Partnership’s unit price had fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard for average closing price of less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30-trading-day period and failed to cure this non-compliance within the required timeframe. The same notification informed the Partnership that NYSE Regulation, Inc. (“NYSE Regulation”) would apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to delist the Common Units from the NYSE upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Partnership of the decision of NYSE Regulation’s staff. The Partnership does not plan to appeal the decision of NYSE Regulation’s staff. Consequently, the Partnership has chosen to move its Common Units to the OTCQX®, which is the highest market tier operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. and provides the highest standards within the OTC Markets for investors.
Southcross Energy remains a publicly traded partnership. The Partnership will continue to make all required SEC filings and will remain subject to SEC rules and regulations applicable to reporting companies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Partnership plans to maintain an independent Audit Committee and to provide annual financial statements audited by a Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) independent registered public accounting firm and unaudited interim financial reports prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
