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

On June 21, 2013, GeoPetro Resources Company (the “Company”) received written notification regarding the results of its appeal hearing held on June 13, 2013, before a Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) of the NYSE MKT LLC (the “NYSE MKT” or the “Exchange”) regarding the Company’s continued listing on the Exchange in light of the listing standards.

After considering the presentations at the hearing, the Corporate Compliance Department of NYSE Regulation, Inc. Staff’s (the “Staff”) prior written submission and the Company’s submission presented at the hearing, the Panel unanimously has decided to defer further action on the appeal pending the Panel’s receipt of a report from the Staff (the “Staff’s Report”) regarding the results of the Company’s operations through July 15, 2013.

Should the Staff’s Report conclude that the Company is no longer financially impaired, the delisting proceeding will be dismissed. Should the Staff’s Report not so conclude, the Company will have until the close of business on the second business day after the Company receives the Staff’s Report to submit to the Panel a written response. The Panel thereafter will render its final decision in writing (the “Final Decision”), which writing will serve as the decision in this matter from which any rights of appeal will flow.

On June 27, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt from the Panel of notice of the Company’s results of its NYSE MKT appeal bid. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
