HOUSTON, Feb. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ION Geophysical Corporation (the "Company") IO today announced that based upon a notice the Company received on February 12, 2016 from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), the Company has regained compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standard for share prices.

On August 11, 2015, the Company was notified by the NYSE that the average price of its common stock had declined below a consecutive 30-trading-day average price of $1.00 per share.  As a result, the NYSE added a ".BC" indicator to the Company's stock symbol.
