DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Forest Oil Corporation (FST) (“Forest” or the “Company”) reported today that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) notified the Company on November 5, 2014 that it has not met the NYSE's continued listing standard that requires a minimum average closing price of $1.00 per share over 30 consecutive trading days.

Under NYSE rules, Forest has six months following receipt of the notification to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. The Company can regain compliance at any time during the six-month cure period if the Company’s common stock has a closing share price of at least $1.00 on the last trading day of any calendar month during the period and also has an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30-trading day period ending on the last trading day of that month or on the last day of the cure period.

The NYSE notification does not affect Forest's business operations or its Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements, and does not conflict with any of the company's credit agreements or debt and other obligations. The notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade on NYSE under the symbol “FST”. Forest previously announced that it intends to undertake a reverse stock split following completion of its combination transaction with Sabine Oil & Gas LLC in order to increase the trading price of the Company’s common shares. Forest intends to formally notify the NYSE promptly of its intent to take steps to cure the deficiency and to return to compliance with this continued listing standard.

Forest Oil Corporation is engaged in the acquisition, production, exploration, and development of natural gas and liquids in the United States. Forest’s principal reserves and producing properties are located in East Texas, the Eagle Ford in South Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Forest’s common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol FST. For more information about Forest Oil, please visit its website at http://www.forestoil.com.
