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

On November 24, 2009, Hyperdynamics Corporation (the “Company”) received a letter from the staff of NYSE Amex LLC (“NYSE Amex”) concerning the Company’s issuance of certain shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) on November 16, 2009, prior to approval for listing on the NYSE Amex.  Section 301 of the NYSE Amex Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) provides that listed companies are not permitted to issue additional securities of a listed class until an application for listing has been submitted and approved.  The staff stated in the letter that failure to comply with the NYSE Amex rules concerning the listing of additional securities could jeopardize the Company’s continued listing status under Section 1003(d) of the Company Guide.

The staff stated in the letter that it would not at this time apply the continued listing evaluation and follow-up procedures specified in Section 1009 of the Company Guide.  Because the Company is not currently in compliance with NYSE Amex continued listing standards, the letter constitutes a “Warning Letter” pursuant to Section 1009(a)(i) of the Company Guide and notice of failure to satisfy a continued listing standard.

The Company submitted to NYSE Amex the application for the listing of additional shares concerning the above issuance on November 25, 2009 and is working with the NYSE Amex to ensure that the Shares are properly listed with the NYSE Amex.

On November 25, 2009, the Company issued a press release disclosing the receipt of the letter and notice of failure to satisfy a continued listing standard.  A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
