HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / February 19, 2019 / Camber Energy, Inc. (NYSE American: CEI) based in Houston,
Texas, a growth-oriented, independent oil and gas company engaged in the development of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas
liquids, announced today it has received a letter of notification from the NYSE Regulation that it is back in compliance with three
of the NYSE American continued listing standards as set forth in Part 10 of the NYSE American Company Guide (the ''Guide'')
(specifically Sections 1003(a)(i) through (iii) thereof, as discussed in greater detail below). The Company remains out of
compliance with Section 1003(f)(v) of the Guide due to the price of the Company's common stock.
Balance Sheet and Compliance with Certain of the NYSE American Continued Listing Standards
The previously announced closing of the N&B Energy transaction in 2018, which extinguished the Company's bank debt, along
with continued institutional investment allowed the Company to increase its total stockholders' equity above $2 million by the end
of the third calendar quarter of 2018, representing an improvement in stockholders' equity of over $30 million compared to the
Company's stockholders' equity at the end of the second calendar quarter of 2018. The Company continues to identify opportunities
that will further increase shareholders' equity.
Notwithstanding the Company's significant increase in stockholders' equity through September 30, 2018, as discussed above, with
less than a quarter to go before the NYSE American's extended deadline, the Company still needed to increase its stockholders'
equity by $4 million. Over the first 75 days of the quarter, the Company increased its stockholders' equity through investments by
an institutional investor. The result of these investments was that the Company had shareholders' equity, as of December 31, 2018
(as shown in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14,
2019 (the ''Form 10-Q'')), in excess of $7.6 million, which exceeds the $6 million minimum amount of stockholders' equity required
by the NYSE American for the Company to meet the stockholders' equity continued listing requirements of the NYSE American.
Following the Company's Form 10-Q filing, on February 15, 2019, the Company received notification in a letter from the NYSE
Regulation that the Company was back in compliance with three of the NYSE American's continued listing standards.
The Interim CEO of Camber, Louis G. Schott, noted, "the Company is delighted to receive the letter of continuing listing
stockholders' equity compliance from the NYSE American. This is the culmination of a process that began in August of 2017. We are
extremely excited about the resolution of this issue.''
Mr. Schott added, "Additionally, the Company is now better positioned for acquisition and merger opportunities of which we are
actively evaluating."
As previously reported, in 2017, the Company received notice from the NYSE American that the Company was not in compliance with
Sections 1003(a)(i) through (iii) of the Guide. In order to maintain its listing on the NYSE American, the NYSE American had
requested that the Company submit a plan of compliance addressing how the Company intended to regain compliance with Sections
1003(a)(i) through (iii) of the Guide by August 3, 2018. The plan was submitted timely and the NYSE American previously granted the
Company until August 3, 2018, which date was subsequently extended until December 15, 2018, prior to being extended further to
February 3, 2019, to regain compliance with the continued listing standards of the Guide. Specifically, pursuant to Sections
1003(a)(i) through (iii) of the Guide, the Company was required to have at least $6 million of stockholders' equity as of February
3, 2019 to regain compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards, which stockholder's equity, and related compliance, was
confirmed by the filing of the Form 10-Q.
Notwithstanding our compliance with the NYSE American stockholders' equity continued listing requirements, we are currently
below compliance with the NYSE American continued listing requirement relating to low priced securities.
