HOUSTON, Jan. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Parker Drilling Company (NYSE: PKD) (the "Company") today filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to voluntarily delist its shares of common stock from trading on the New York Stock Exchange in connection with its previously announced plan to deregister its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company expects that the delisting will occur ten calendar days after the filing of the Form 25 so that trading will be suspended on February 10, 2020 prior to the market opening. Following the delisting, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") will evaluate updated ownership data to ascertain the aggregate costs within the ranges of stock split ratios that the Company's stockholders approved at a special meeting on January 9, 2020. Based upon this analysis, the Board will determine the appropriate ratio to effectuate a reverse stock split, which will be followed immediately by a forward stock split. As previously disclosed, the Board, at its sole discretion, may elect to abandon the stock splits and the overall deregistration process for any reason, including if it determines that effectuating the stock splits would be too costly. Assuming the Board determines to proceed with the stock splits and the overall deregistration process, the Company will file with the State of Delaware certificates of amendment to the Company's certificate of incorporation to effectuate the stock splits. Following the effectiveness of the stock splits, the Company will file a Form 15 with the SEC certifying that it has less than 300 stockholders, which will terminate the registration of the Company's common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. At this time, the Company believes that any reverse stock split ratio within the previously approved range would reduce the number of record holders below 300, which is the level at or above which the Company is required to file reports with the SEC.

For more information regarding the Company's deregistration and delisting transaction, please refer to the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on November 25, 2019.
