Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.

As previously disclosed, on May 18, 2018, Rex Energy Corporation (the “Company”) and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) are being administered under the caption In re R.E. Gas Development, LLC, Case No. 18-22032 (JAD).

As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on October 22, 2018, on October 16, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Amended Plan of Liquidation of the Debtors and Debtors in Possession Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (as may be amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time and including all exhibits and supplements thereto, the “Plan”). On November 14, 2018, the Effective Date of the Plan (as defined in the Plan) occurred. On the same date, the Debtors filed a notice of confirmation of the Plan and occurrence of the Effective Date (the “Notice”) with the Bankruptcy Court. A copy of the Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

AS A RESULT OF THE PLAN BEING EFFECTIVE, ALL OF THE COMPANY’S OUTSTANDING EQUITY INTERESTS, CONSISTING OF AUTHORIZED AND OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK OF THE COMPANY, AS WELL AS THE COMPANY’S PREPETITION UNSECURED NOTES (AS DEFINED IN THE PLAN), WERE CANCELLED WITHOUT CONSIDERATION AND HAVE NO VALUE, ALTHOUGH THE PREPETITION UNSECURED NOTES MAY, IF NECESSARY, REMAIN OUTSTANDING FOR A SHORT PERIOD SOLELY TO EFFECT A PREVIOUSLY DECLARED SINGLE AND FINAL DISTRIBUTION WITH RESPECT THERETO. IN ADDITION, AS A RESULT OF THE PLAN BEING EFFECTIVE, THE COMPANY’S PREPETITION SECOND LIEN NOTES (AS DEFINED IN THE PLAN) WERE ALSO CANCELLED, THOUGH PROCEDURES WERE ESTABLISHED FOR PURPOSES OF MAKING DISTRIBUTION(S) IN RESPECT OF THE PREPETITION SECOND LIEN NOTES PER THE TERMS OF THE PLAN AND/OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (AS DEFINED IN THE PLAN).

The Company will file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide notice of the suspension of its reporting obligations under Section 12 and Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Upon filing a Form 15, the Company will immediately cease filing any further periodic or current reports under the Exchange Act.

Item 3.03. Material Modification of Rights of Security Holders.

Pursuant to the Plan, all outstanding equity interests in the Company (including outstanding shares of common and preferred stock, options, warrants or contractual or other rights to acquire any equity interests of the Company) were cancelled on the Effective Date.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on October 22, 2018, certain officers of the Company resigned effective as of September 28, 2018.
