Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
 
On September 17, 2024, U.S. Energy Corp. (the “Company”, “we” and “us”) received written notice (the “Notification Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of thirty (30) consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the thirty (30) consecutive business days from August 5, 2024 to September 16, 2024, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement.
 
The Notification Letter does not impact the Company’s listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market at this time. The Notification Letter states that the Company has 180 calendar days or until March 17, 2025, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance, the bid price of the Company’s common stock must have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If the Company does not regain compliance by March 17, 2025, an additional 180 days may be granted to regain compliance, so long as the Company meets The Nasdaq Capital Market initial listing criteria (except for the bid price requirement) and notifies Nasdaq in writing of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance during the second 180-day period, the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting, at which point the Company would have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.
 
The Company intends 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 under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
 
Item 8.01. Other Events.
 
The Company previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on July 1, 2024 and a press release filed on the same day, that on June 25, 2024, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”), with Synergy Offshore LLC (“Synergy”), relating to the proposed acquisition by the Company, from Synergy, of 24,000 net acres, located in Toole County, Montana (the “Synergy Assets”).
 
Synergy is controlled by Mr. Duane H. King, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, who serves as the Chief Executive Officer and Manager of Synergy, and John A. Weinzierl, the Company’s Chairman.
 
The LOI subsequently expired pursuant to its terms and the Company is no longer pursuing the acquisition of the Synergy Assets contemplated by the LOI.
