Quest Energy Partners Receives Nasdaq Non-Compliance Notice
November 25 2008 - 6:30AM
Marketwired
Quest Energy Partners L.P. (NASDAQ: QELP) ("QELP" or "the
Partnership") today announced that it has received a notice from
the Nasdaq Stock Market, dated November 19, 2008, indicating that
because the Partnership has not yet filed its Form 10-Q for the
period ended September 30, 2008, that under Marketplace Rule
4310(c)(14) it is no longer in compliance with the rules for
continued listing on the exchange.
The notice further stated that Nasdaq rules permit the
Partnership to submit a plan to regain compliance by no later than
January 20, 2009, or within 60 calendar days. Following a review of
this plan, Nasdaq staff can grant QELP an exception, up to 180
calendar days from the due date of the 10-Q, or until May 13, 2009,
to regain compliance. QELP intends to timely submit a plan to
Nasdaq and to execute on that plan to be back in compliance within
the exception period.
In determining whether to grant the exception, Nasdaq staff will
consider QELP's: specific circumstances, including the likelihood
that the 10-Q can be filed within the exception period; past
compliance history; reasons for the late filing; partnership events
that may occur within the exception period; general financial
status; and disclosures to the market.
If Nasdaq staff determines that it is not appropriate to provide
the Partnership with an exception, it will provide written notice
that the Partnership's securities will be delisted. At that time,
QELP may appeal the decision to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications
Panel.

development and construction of related pipelines, environmental
