Exhibit 99.1
Camber Energy Discloses Receipt of Notice From NYSE American
HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / February 28, 2020 -- Camber Energy, Inc. (NYSE American: CEI) (“Camber” or the “Company”), an independent oil and gas company, announced that on February 24, 2020, it was notified by the NYSE American (the “Exchange”) that the Company was not in compliance with certain of the Exchange’s continued listing standards as set forth in Part 10 of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”). Specifically, Camber is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide in that it reported stockholders’ equity of $3.1 million as of December 31, 2019 and net losses in three of four of its most recent fiscal years then ended, meaning specifically that Camber is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide which requires listed companies have stockholders’ equity of $4,000,000 or more and not have sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of four of such issuer’s most recent fiscal years.
In order to maintain its listing on the Exchange, the Exchange has requested that the Company submit a plan of compliance (the “Plan”) by March 25, 2020, addressing how it intends to regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide by August 24, 2021. The Company’s management is beginning its analysis regarding submission of a Plan to the Exchange by the required due date.
Receipt of the letter does not have any immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s shares on the Exchange, except that until the Company regains compliance with the Exchange’s listing standards, a “BC” indicator will be affixed to the Company’s trading symbol. The Company’s business operations and SEC reporting requirements are unaffected by the notification, provided that if the Plan is not submitted, is not acceptable, or the Company does not make sufficient progress under the Plan or reestablish compliance by August 24, 2021, then the Company will be subject to the Exchange’s delisting procedures.
The Company is committed to undertaking a transaction or transactions in the future to achieve compliance with the Exchange’s requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve compliance with the Exchange’s continued listing standards within the required time frame. The Company may then appeal a staff determination to initiate such proceedings in accordance with the Exchange’s Company Guide.
