DALLAS, June 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Azure Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: AZUR) ("Azure", the "Partnership"), today announced that it was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that the NYSE has determined to commence proceedings to delist its common units (the "Common Units") from the NYSE. These proceedings are a result of Azure's failure to comply with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual that require Azure to maintain an average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period of at least $15 million for its Common Units. The NYSE also suspended the trading of the Common Units at the close of trading on June 3, 2016.

The NYSE has informed Azure that it will file a Form 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove Azure's securities from listing and registration on the NYSE. Azure is presently considering what actions, if any, it may take in response to the decision. However, the Partnership anticipates that the Common Units will begin trading on the OTCQB Market at the open on Monday, June 6, 2016. Azure expects its OTCQB ticker symbol to be the same as its NYSE symbol: AZUR. The Partnership will remain subject to the public reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission following the transfer to the OTCQB.
