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

As previously disclosed, on January 16, 2017, Memorial Production Partners LP (the “Partnership”) and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division.

On January 17, 2017, the Partnership received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) notifying the Partnership that as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and in accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rules 5101, 5110(b) and IM-5101-1, NASDAQ has determined that the Partnership’s common units representing limited partner interests (“common units”) will be delisted from The NASDAQ Stock Market. Accordingly, unless the Partnership requests an appeal of this determination, trading of the common units will be suspended at the opening of business on January 26, 2017, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Partnership’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

As disclosed on December 19, 2016, the common units had also previously fallen below the NASDAQ’s continued listing standard in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) requiring listed companies to maintain an average closing price per share of not less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period.

The Partnership currently intends to request an appeal of this determination.
