CALGARY, Alberta, April 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pengrowth Energy Corporation (TSX:PGF) (NYSE:PGH) is providing a clarification to its news release dated April 18, 2018 regarding the listing of shares on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). It is the intention of the Company to continue trading on the NYSE until the end of the compliance cure period, which is expected to be June 1, 2018. If at that time, the Company regains compliance through an increase in its share price, then the intent of the Company is to remain listed on the NYSE. If the Company’s share price does not increase sufficiently to meet the continued standards requirements, then the Company expects the NYSE will commence with de-listing procedures.
