Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
    
On April 17, 2020, Mammoth Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, for the last thirty consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided a period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance.

However, the Notice stated that, on April 16, 2020, Nasdaq filed an immediately effective rule change with the Securities and Exchange Commission to toll the compliance periods for the bid price and market value of publicly held shares requirements (collectively, the “Price-based Requirements”) through June 30, 2020 due to the recent unprecedented turmoil in U.S. and world financial markets. The compliance periods for the Price-based Requirements will be reinstated on July 1, 2020. As a result, the Company will have 180 calendar days from July 1, 2020, or until December 28, 2020, to regain compliance.

The Notice stated that, if at any time during the tolling period or 180-day compliance period, the closing bid price of the Company’s security is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company written confirmation of compliance. If the Company does not regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) by December 28, 2020, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. Should the Nasdaq Staff conclude during its review process that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s shares will be subject to delisting, at which time Company may appeal the delisting determination. There can be no assurance the Nasdaq Staff would grant any request for continued listing.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock. The Company intends to monitor the bid price of its common stock and consider available options if its common stock does not trade at a level likely to result in the Company regaining compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price rule by December 28, 2020. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price rule or maintain compliance with other listing requirements.
