Energy Partners, Ltd. (�EPL� or, the �Company�) (NYSE:EPL) announced today that it received a written notice from NYSE Regulation, Inc. that trading of EPL�s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (�NYSE�) would be suspended before the NYSE opens on March�30, 2009.

The NYSE stated that EPL was not in compliance with the NYSE�s continued listing standard, which currently requires a company with listed common stock to maintain an average global market capitalization of not less than $15.0 million over a consecutive 30 trading-day period.

NYSE Regulation has informed the Company that application to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Company�s common stock is pending the completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeals by the Company of�NYSE Regulation�s decision.

The Company expects to work with a market maker to apply for registration and quotation of its common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board (�OTCBB�). This transition to the over-the-counter markets does not affect the Company�s business operations and will not change its obligation to file periodic and certain other reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under applicable federal securities laws.
