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

 

On April 5, 2012, Dynegy Inc. (“Dynegy”) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.

Under the applicable rules of the NYSE, Dynegy has a period of six months from the receipt of the NYSE notice to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement.  During the interim period, Dynegy’s common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE, subject to Dynegy’s compliance with other NYSE continued listing requirements.  Dynegy will notify the NYSE of the steps it will take to cure this price deficiency within the prescribed timeframe.
