EXPLANATORY NOTE
As reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by U.S. Energy Corp. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 28, 2022 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the Commission on July 29, 2022)(as amended, the “Original Form 8-K”), on June 29, 2022, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) with ETXENERGY, LLC (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Company acquired, on July 27, 2022, and effective on June 1, 2022, all of the Seller’s rights to, and interest in, certain operated producing properties totaling approximately 16,600 net acres, located in Henderson and Anderson Counties, Texas. The acquisition included certain wells, pipelines, contracts, technical data, records, personal property and hydrocarbons associated with the Properties, including two pipeline gathering systems and related infrastructure (collectively with the oil and gas properties acquired, the “Acquired Assets”). The purchase price for the Acquired Assets was $11.875 million in cash, subject to customary working capital and other adjustments as set forth in the PSA, a total of $590,000 (five percent (5%) of the purchase price) of which was previously paid by the Company to the Seller as a deposit towards the purchase price at the time of the entry into the PSA and credited against the closing payment.
At the time of filing the Original Form 8-K, the Company disclosed that the financial statements of the Acquired Assets and the pro forma financial information relative to the acquisition of the Acquired Assets would be filed no later than 71 calendar days after the date that the Original Form 8-K was required to be filed.
The Company has since analyzed the significance of the acquisition of the Acquired Assets pursuant to Regulation S-X and determined that no financial statements or pro forma financial information is required with respect to the acquisition of the Acquired Assets under Regulation S-X.
This Form 8-K/A is being filed solely to amend the disclosure set forth Item 9.01 of the Original Form 8-K to state that no historical financial statements of the Acquired Assets or related combined pro forma financial information are required to be filed.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
