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

On February 13, 2015, Whiting USA Trust I (the “Trust”) (NYSE: WHX) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that the NYSE has determined to suspend trading in the Trust’s units effective before market open on February 17, 2015 and will promptly commence proceedings to delist the Trust’s units from the NYSE.

The NYSE informed the Trust that the Trust was not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards, which requires that the average closing price of the Trust units cannot be less than $1.00 per share over a period of 30 consecutive trading days. Under the NYSE delisting procedures, the Trust has the right to appeal such decision, but the Trust does not intend to do so.

The Trust expects the Trust units to transition to OTC Pink, operated by OTC Markets Group, effective with the opening of business on February 17, 2015. However, there is no assurance that an active market in the Trust units will develop on OTC Pink.

On February 13, 2015, the Trust issued a press release announcing that it had received the NYSE notice of suspension and commencement of the delisting process. A copy of the press release is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1.
