DALLAS, Texas, Aug. 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Southcross Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: SXE) (“Southcross” or the “Partnership”) was notified on August 27, 2018 by the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") that the Partnership does not presently satisfy the NYSE's continued listing standard requiring the average closing price of the Partnership's common units to be at least $1.00 per common unit over a period of 30 consecutive trading days.  As of August 27, 2018, the average closing price of the Partnership's common units over the preceding 30 trading-day period was $0.88 per unit.

In accordance with NYSE rules, the Partnership intends to notify the NYSE within 10 business days of receipt of the notification that the Partnership intends to cure the deficiency.  The Partnership has a period of six months from the date of the notification to regain compliance with the minimum unit price criteria.  The Partnership is considering all available options to regain compliance during this six-month period.

Under the NYSE rules, the Partnership's common units will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during this six-month period, subject to the Partnership's compliance with other continued listing requirements.  The current noncompliance with the NYSE listing standard does not affect the Partnership's ongoing business operations or its Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements, and does not cause an event of default under the Partnership's credit facilities.
