Material Changes and Listing Compliance
- The NYSE notified Seadrill that it was not in compliance with the requirement for its stock to maintain an average closing price above $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30-trading-day period.
- As of March 24, 2020, Seadrill’s preceding 30-trading-day average closing price was $0.99.
- The company’s common shares remained listed and traded on the NYSE, subject to compliance with other continued-listing standards.

If remediation requires shareholder approval, the six-month cure-period requirement does not apply provided the company seeks approval no later than its next annual general meeting and implements the action promptly afterward.
