CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CORR, CORRPrA) ("CorEnergy" or the "Company") announced the closing of its previously announced offering of $120 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”), which includes the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ over-allotment option, in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The offering resulted in approximately $116 million net proceeds to CorEnergy after deducting the initial purchasers' discount and estimated offering expenses payable by CorEnergy. The Notes will be convertible at an initial conversion rate of 20.0000 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $50.00 per share of the Company’s common stock.

CorEnergy will use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with shares of its common stock, to repurchase approximately $64 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”) in separate transactions that were negotiated concurrently with this offering. Such transactions are expected to settle on August 15, 2019, with the purchase consideration, based on the average of the daily volume weighted-average prices of CorEnergy’s common stock over a six trading day period beginning on August 7, 2019, being delivered in a combination of cash and shares of CorEnergy’s common stock. CorEnergy intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, such as redeeming preferred equity or project-level debt.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, nor will there be any sale of the Notes or common stock, in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any state or jurisdiction. This press release does not constitute an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell any 2020 Notes or underlying securities. The Notes and any shares of CorEnergy’s common stock underlying such Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and the Notes will be offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. Unless so registered, the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
