Houston American Regains Compliance With NYSE American Listing Rules
HOUSTON, Sept. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Houston American Energy Corp. (NYSE American: HUSA, or the "Company") today announced receipt, on September 18, 2017, of notification from NYSE Regulation that the Company has regained compliance with Section 1003(a) of the NYSE American's Company Guide relating to minimum shareholders' equity.
The Company previously received notification from the NYSE American citing failure to comply with the minimum shareholders' equity and minimum stock price standards. With this latest notice, Houston American Energy has now cured the previously cited deficiencies and is in compliance with the NYSE American's continued listing standards. Effective September 19, 2017, the ".bc" designation, signifying non-compliance with NYSE American listing standards will be removed from the Company's trading symbol.
John Boylan, Houston American's CEO and Chairman stated: "We are happy to have regained compliance with the NYSE American listing standards. Our efforts and success in that regard, both from a shareholders' equity position and stock price, are, we believe, a reflection of our efforts to re-position Houston American with our entry into Reeves County and the success we have enjoyed with our initial wells. We are confident that we have turned a corner and look forward to providing to our shareholders continued access to a liquid market on the NYSE American and the prospect of a significant uptick in our production, revenues and profitability as our initial wells come on production."
