Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On November 27, 2019, Key Energy Services, Inc. (“Key” or the “Company”) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the NYSE had determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) from the NYSE as a result of the Company’s failure to maintain an average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period of at least $15 million pursuant to Rule 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. The NYSE also suspended trading in the Common Stock effective immediately.

The NYSE stated that it will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to delist the Common Stock upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the NYSE’s delisting determination. The Company does not intend to appeal the delisting determination.

The Company anticipates that the Common Stock will begin trading on the OTC Pink marketplace under the symbol “KEGX”. The Company can provide no assurance that the Common Stock will commence or continue to trade on this market, whether broker-dealers will continue to provide public quotes of the Common Stock on this market, whether the trading volume of the Common Stock will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market or whether quotes for the Common Stock will continue on this market in the future.

The transition to over-the-counter markets will not affect the Company’s business operations or its SEC reporting requirements and does not conflict with or cause an event of default under any of Key’s material debt or other agreements.

A copy of the Company’s press release, dated November 27, 2019, regarding the receipt of the letter from the NYSE is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
