HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
USD Partners LP (NYSE: USDP) (the “Partnership”) announced today that it received notification from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on July 26, 2023 that the Partnership is no longer in compliance with the NYSE’s continued minimum price criteria set forth in section 802.01C of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, which provides that the Partnership will be considered to be below compliance standards if the average closing price of the Common Units is less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period.
The Partnership’s Common Units will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE, subject to its compliance with other NYSE continued listing requirements. The NYSE notification does not affect the Partnership’s business operations or its Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements, nor does it conflict with or cause an event of default under the Partnership’s Credit Agreement or other agreements.
In accordance with NYSE rules, the Partnership will respond to the NYSE within 10 business days of receipt of the non-compliance notification to notify the NYSE of the Partnership’s intention to cure the deficiency. The Partnership will have a period of six months from receipt of the notification to regain compliance with the NYSE’s minimum closing price requirement, also referred to as the cure period. Under the NYSE rules, the Partnership can regain compliance if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period (or the last trading day of the cure period) the Partnership’s Common Units have a closing price of at least $1.00 and an average closing price of at least $1.00 over the prior 30 trading-day period.
