U.S. ENERGY CORP. (NASDAQ:USEG) Files An 8-K Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued
Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On March 23, 2017, U.S. Energy Corp. (the Company) received a
notification letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq)
indicating that for 30 consecutive business days the Companys
common stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of
$1.00 (Minimum Bid Price Requirement) per share as required by
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the Rule).

The Nasdaq notification has no immediate effect on the listing or
trading of the Companys common stock, which will continue to
trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol USEG.
Consistent with the Rule, Nasdaq provided the Company with a
compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until September19,
2017, to regain compliance with the Rule. To regain compliance
with the Rule, the closing bid price of the Companys common stock
must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive
business days during this 180 calendar day period.

If the Company does not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid
Price Requirement by September 19, 2017, Nasdaq will provide
written notification to the Company that the common stock is
subject to delisting. However, the Company may be eligible for an
additional 180 day compliance period to meet the Minimum Bid
Price Requirement, provided that it meets the continued listing
requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all
other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market,
with the exception of the bid price requirement. To qualify for
more time, the Company will need to provide written notice of its
intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance
period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the
Company meets these requirements, Nasdaq will inform the Company
that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days.
However, if it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will not be
able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not
eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Companys securities
will be subject to delisting.

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its
common stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing
available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price
Requirement.
