Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy Continued
Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As
previously disclosed, on July 17, 2017, EV Energy Partners, L.P. (the “Company”) received a letter from the listing
qualifications department staff of the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) notifying the Company that for the 30 consecutive
trading days preceding July 17, 2017 the bid price of the Company's common units had closed below $1.00 per share, the minimum
closing bid price required by the continued listing requirements of NASDAQ listing rule 5450(a)(1). The Company was initially
provided 180 calendar days, or until January 15, 2018, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule.
On
December 27, 2017, the Company applied to transfer from the Nasdaq Global Market to the NASDAQ Capital Market and requested an
additional 180-day grace period to regain compliance with NASDAQ's minimum bid price requirement because the Company's units have
continued to trade below the $1.00 minimum closing bid price. The Company believes that it meets the criteria for listing
on the NASDAQ Capital Market, and accordingly it expects that NASDAQ will approve its transfer request and grant it an additional
180-day extension period. In connection with the transfer request, the Company has provided NASDAQ with written assurance
that it intends to implement a reverse unit split if the closing bid price of its securities is not at least $1 for a minimum
of 10 consecutive business days during the extension period.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to
the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf
by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
