Offshore drilling contractor Borr Drilling has received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange informing it that the company is not in compliance with the continued listing standard.
The notice is related to the minimum average share price required by the NYSE because the average closing price of Borr Drilling common shares had fallen below $1.00 per share over a period of 30 consecutive trading days.
Under the NYSE rules, the company can regain compliance with this standard and cure this deficiency if, during the six-month period following receipt of the NYSE notice.
For Borr Drilling, this means it has to have a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30-trading day period ending February 25, 2021.
"The Company has responded to the NYSE to confirm its intent to cure this non-compliance. During this period, the Company's common shares will continue to be traded on the NYSE subject to the Company's compliance with other applicable NYSE listing requirements," Borr Drilling said.

As previously reported, Borr Drilling on August 10 said that Schorn would take over the CEO position from Svend Anton Maier who will remain with the company as a special advisor to the CEO.
