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

On September 16, 2009, Rio Vista Energy Partners L.P. (“Rio Vista”) received written notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market’s Listing Qualification Department stating that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price of Rio Vista’s common units has been below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion under Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”). In accordance with Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), Rio Vista will be provided with 180 calendar days, or until March 15, 2010, to regain compliance. If at any time before March 15, 2010, the bid price of Rio Vista’s common units closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that Rio Vista complies with the Rule. If compliance with the Rule cannot be demonstrated by March 15, 2010, Nasdaq will issue Rio Vista written notification that its common units are subject to delisting. Rio Vista will also be entitled to an additional 180 calendar day compliance period if Rio Vista can demonstrate that it meets the initial listing standards, with the exception of the Rule, for The Nasdaq Capital Market.
