On December 3, 2019, the board of directors of Harvest Oil & Gas Corp. (the “Company”) approved a share repurchase program that gives the Company the ability to repurchase up to $5.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “repurchase program”). Repurchases may be made from time to time, at the Company’s discretion, through open market repurchases or negotiated transactions, which may be effected through trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends to fund repurchases from cash on hand.

Repurchases by the Company will be subject to general market and economic conditions, alternate uses for the capital and other factors, and the repurchase program may be suspended, modified or discontinued by the Company’s board of directors at any time. The Company has no obligation to repurchase any amount of its common stock under the repurchase program.

A copy of the press release announcing the repurchase program is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
