USD Partners LP Announces Suspended NYSE Trading, Anticipates Trading Will Begin On the OTC Exchange Effective November 16, 2023
HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–USD Partners LP (NYSE: USDP) (the “Partnership”) announced today that the Partnership received notification from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the NYSE will suspend trading of, and commence proceedings to delist, the Partnership’s common units, effective at the open of business eastern standard time on November 16, 2023. The determination was made in connection with the Partnership’s non-compliance with an NYSE listing requirement necessitating an average market capitalization of at least $15 million over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The Partnership has 10 business days to determine whether to appeal the NYSE’s delisting determination.
The suspension and delisting determination do not affect the Partnership’s business, nor do they conflict with or cause an event of default under the Partnership’s Credit Agreement.
The Partnership anticipates that its common units will begin trading in the OTC Pink Market on November 16, 2023 under the ticker symbol USDP. Existing unitholders of USDP will find the common units quoted on the OTC Pink Market without any further action needed.
