Exhibit 99.1
Camber Energy’s Compliance Plan Accepted By The NYSE American
November 8, 2017, Camber Energy (NYSE American: CEI)(the “Company” or “Camber”), based in San Antonio, Texas, a growth-oriented, independent oil and gas company engaged in the development of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids in Central Oklahoma and in the San Andres formation in the Permian Basin, of Texas, announced today that the NYSE American (the “Exchange”) has accepted the Company’s plan of compliance (the “Plan”) for continued listing on the Exchange.
As previously reported, on August 3, 2017, we received notice from the Exchange that the Company is not in compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i) through (iii) of the Exchange Company Guide (the “Guide”). In order to maintain our listing on the Exchange, the Exchange had requested that the Company submit a plan of compliance by September 5, 2017 addressing how the Company intended to regain compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Guide by August 3, 2018. The Exchange extended the date to submit a plan to September 20, 2017 and the plan (the “Plan”) was submitted timely by the extended deadline.
On November 3, 2017, the Exchange notified the Company that it accepted the Company’s Plan and granted the Company an extension until August 3, 2018 (the “Plan Period”) to regain compliance with the continued listing standards of the Guide. The Company will be subject to periodic review by the Exchange during the Plan Period. Failure to make progress consistent with the Plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards of the Guide by the end of the Plan Period could result in the Company being delisted from the Exchange. The Company is working diligently to regain compliance with the Company Guide by August 3, 2018.
Additionally, on November 7, 2017, the Company was notified by the NYSE American that it was back in compliance with the separate continued listing deficiency relating to non-compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the Company Guide, which previously announced deficiency was due to the fact that the Company did not timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, which report was filed on November 6, 2017.Concurrently with the issuance of this press release, the Company is filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission related to this matter.
