Item2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by U.S. Energy Corp. (“U.S. Energy”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2020, on November 9, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary New Horizon Resources LLC, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) to acquire certain assets from Newbridge Resources LLC (“Newbridge”).

The acquisition closed on December 1, 2020, with an effective date of November 1, 2020.

The assets acquired include acreage and operated producing properties in Liberty County, Texas (the “Properties”). The Properties also consist of approximately 680 net acres located primarily in Liberty County, Texas which are 100% held by production, and which average a 100% working interest and 86% net revenue interest.

The consideration paid by the Company for the Properties consisted of 67,254 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, valued at $250,000 ($3.7172 per share, the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock, as traded on The NASDAQ Capital Market, for the 15 trading days immediately prior to the closing date) (the “Newbridge Shares”).

The foregoing summary description of the PSA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the PSA, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As noted in Item 1.01 above, on December 1, 2020, the Company issued Newbridge the Newbridge Shares in consideration for the Properties. The issuance of the Newbridge Shares was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), since the foregoing issuance did not involve a public offering, the recipient was an “accredited investor”, and the recipient acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The securities were offered without any general solicitation by us or our representatives. The securities are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.
