CorEnergy expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with shares of their common stock, to repurchase approximately $64 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes") concurrently with this offering in separate privately negotiated transactions through one of the initial purchasers and/or its affiliates as CorEnergy's agent. The final repurchase consideration, which will be based on an average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of shares of CorEnergy's common stock during a valuation period, will be 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. CorEnergy's repurchase of the 2020 Notes could have affected or may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of CorEnergy's common stock above levels that would otherwise have prevailed, or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of CorEnergy's common stock. This activity could also indirectly have affected the initial conversion price of the Notes.

Holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes into shares of CorEnergy's common stock at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. The initial conversion rate for the Notes will be 20.0000 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $50.00 per share of the Company's common stock. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in certain events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. Upon conversion, CorEnergy will deliver shares of its common stock, together with a cash payment in lieu of delivering any fractional shares.

CorEnergy may not redeem the Notes prior to August 15, 2023. On or after August 15, 2023, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the Notes, at its option, if the last reported sale price of its common stock has been at least 125% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No "sinking fund" is provided for the Notes, which means that CorEnergy is not required to redeem or retire the Notes periodically.

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.
