Mammoth Energy Services, Inc. Regains Compliance with the Audit Committee Requirements under the Nasdaq Listing Rules

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) requires that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised of at least three members, each of whom must be “independent” as defined under Rule 5605(a)(2) and meet the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) (“Rule 10A-3”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as well as certain other criteria specified in Rule 5605(c)(2) (collectively, the “Listing Rules”).

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Mammoth Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”) on May 22, 2020 (the “Original 8-K”), the Company notified the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on May 18, 2020 that as a result of the resignation of one of the Company’s former directors, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) became comprised of only two directors who meet the independence requirements under the Listing Rules. As also disclosed in the Original 8-K, Nasdaq responded on May 19, 2020 with a notification letter confirming the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) and advised the Company that, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4), the Company will have until the earlier of the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders or May 8, 2021 to regain compliance, or if the next annual meeting of stockholders is held before November 4, 2020, then the Company must evidence compliance not later than November 4, 2020 (the “Cure Period”).

As reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K on August 12, 2020 (the “August 12, 2020 8-K”), the Board appointed Dr. Corey J. Booker to the Board and the Audit Committee, in each case, effective August 17, 2020, which appointment cured this deficiency within the Cure Period.

On August 18, 2020, Nasdaq confirmed to the Company that, based on the information regarding the appointment of Dr. Booker to the Board and the Audit Committee, as detailed in the August 12, 2020 8-K, the Nasdaq Staff has determined that the Company now complies with the applicable Listing Rule, and this matter is now closed.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
