ITEM 3.01                                    Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On July 6, 2012, the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) announced suspension of trading of Dynegy’s common stock. This announcement was followed by written notice on July 9, 2012, that the NYSE had determined to suspend trading in Dynegy’s common stock immediately on July 6, 2012.  The NYSE noted that it reached this decision in view of Dynegy’s filing of a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, Poughkeepsie Division seeking relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

 

As previously disclosed, on April 5, 2012, Dynegy was notified by the NYSE that Dynegy was not in compliance with the continued listing criteria under Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the average closing price of Dynegy’s common stock was less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period as of the notification date.

 

Dynegy does not intend to take any further action to appeal the NYSE’s decision and therefore it is expected that Dynegy’s common stock will be delisted after the completion and approval of the NYSE’s application to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Dynegy’s common stock is currently trading under the symbol “DYNIQ” in the over-the-counter market.
