*  On July 27, 2016, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York entered an order confirming the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) of Sabine Oil & Gas Corporation (the “Company”). The Plan became effective on August 11, 2016 (the “Effective Date”).

 

Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, among other things: (1) all previously issued securities of the Company, including the Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share, listed in this Form 15, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date  (the “Old Common Stock”) were cancelled and extinguished and (2) new Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share, of the Company (the “New Common Stock”) was issued for distribution in accordance with the Plan. The number of holders of record of the New Common Stock is less than 300.

 

This Form 15 is intended to suspend all filing obligations under Section 15(d) with respect to both the Company’s Old Common Stock extinguished in accordance with the Plan and any obligation which may exist with respect to its New Common Stock.
