Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously announced, on May 9, 2019, U.S. Energy Corp. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the requirement of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2) for continued listing on Nasdaq as a result of the Company’s audit committee being comprised of fewer than three independent directors. On June 14, 2019, Nasdaq notified the Company that as a result of the appointment of Catherine Boggs to the Company’s Board of Directors and audit committee, Nasdaq determined that the Company is in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2).
On June 19, 2019, Nasdaq notified the Company that, although the Company has not regained compliance with the minimum $1.00 closing bid price per share requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”), Nasdaq has determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until December 16, 2019, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The second 180-day period relates exclusively to the $1.00 closing bid price deficiency, and the Company may be delisted during the 180-day period for failure to maintain compliance with any other Nasdaq listing requirements for which the Company is currently on notice or which occurs during the 180-day period. The Company continues to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
The Company remains in non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of the Company’s inability to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended March 31, 2019. The Company continues to work diligently toward the filing of the Form 10-Q and the Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as soon as reasonably practicable.
This report contains forward-looking statements, and any statements other than statements of historical fact could be deemed to be forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding the expected timing for the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company’s ability to regain compliance with the Exchange’s requirements for continued listing, and related matters. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the failure of the Company to file the Form 10-K and 10-Q on its expected timeline, and actual results may differ materially from these statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.
